Condition

SURFACE: in good condition, overall; scattered, fine crackle in several places throughout, most apparent horizontally along center--looks stable; an irregular "dent" at upper center, about 2 in. long--as though board underneath gave way--but is covered with pigment and doesn't really show unless you look carefully (accumulation of dust in crevice indicates that it's been there a long time) UNDER ULTRA VIOLET: no apparent inpainting (likely that "indent" was painted over by artist)
