Condition
The board is very gently buckling most notably towards the upper left quadrant. Minor losses have occurred to each extreme corner. The board is otherwise sound. The colors are rich and vibrant. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce but no inpainting is apparent. Overall the work is in very good condition.
