Condition
The panel is sound. UV examination reveals a tiny spot of fluorescence to the edge of the central part of the thin black element. There are some irregularities to the wood on the extreme right edge of the panel, visible when framed. There are some minor fine lines of shrinkage consistent with the support. Otherwise is work is in overall good condition.
