Condition
Work is in very good condition. Board is stable. Surface is slightly dirty. Two very thin cracks in pigments at upper left corner. Under UV light: many pigments fluoresce but appear to be original. An uneven layer of varnish across the compostion also fluoresces but appears to have been applied by the artist as part of his process. No inpainting is apparent.
