Condition

The board is flat, even and ensuring a stable support. There are possibly a couple of very minor tiny spots of paint flaking in the blue pigments in the background. Ultra-violet light reveals no visible signs of retouching. This work is in good original condition and ready to hang. Presented in a gold-painted modern frame. The blue pigments are deeper and less bright and saturated in reality than in the catalogue illustration.
