Condition
The board appears to be stable. There is evidence of frame abrasion with associated flecks of paint loss at the extreme edges of the board. On close examination it is possible to see several tiny specks of paint loss in the table top. With the exception of the above the work appears to be in good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals some areas of florescence, particularly in the table top, which appear to indicate sensitively executed retouching.
The work is presented in a painted black frame.
