Condition
This work is in very good condition. The board is sound. Surface is nicely textured & well-preserved. Pigments are fresh & vibrant. The upper, left and right edges are slightly irregular & show signs of minor old frame abrasion. Remnants of old framer's tape visible along perimeter of verso. There is some shallow incising in the lower left quadrant which appears to be original to the artist's technique. Under UV light: no in-painting is apparent.
