Condition
Board is sound and stable. Surface is covered with a thin layer of varnish. Colors are fresh and vibrant. Under UV light: two horizontal lines of inpainting along the extreme upper and lower edges fluoresce; these are most likely present to address prior frame abrasion. Overall the work is in excellent condition.
