Condition
The board is sound. There are artist pinholes at all four corners and at the center of the top and bottom edges. The paint layer is slightly dirty. The artist has used a thick paint layer and insizing throughout the composition. The lower edge of the board near the center has a few spots of wear. Under UV light a thick layer of varnish is difficult to read through, but no inpainting in apparent. This work is in good condition.
