Condition

The board is sound. Close inspection reveals some minor abrasion in the lower right corner, and a 2mm loss on the top of the chimney of the main house of the right. Under UV light, some small strokes of inpainting fluoresce in the upper and lower right corners. Otherwise this work is in very good condition.
