Condition
Sound board.
There is very minor surface dirt visible to the white pigment. There are three raised areas to the top edge suggestive of nails beneath. There are minor flecks of paint loss to the edges of the artist's integral box frame.. This excepting the work appears to be in very good condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals some flecks of retouching to the edges of the artist's integral box frame in line with the aforementioned spots of loss. There are one of two tiny specks of fluorescence to the white pigment and along the right hand edge, which may correspond with an old retouching.
Housed behind glass, set within a wooden washed frame, itself float-mounted within another white box frame. Unexamined out of frame.
