Condition

The board has been laid on canvasboard. The edges are uneven and the secondary support is slightly larger than the primary so its edges protrude slightly along the top and bottom. The board has warped slightly in the two top corners. There are very minor frame abrasions in places. There is a covering of surface dirt. Examination under UV light reveals no apparent signs of retouching. Held in an attractive wooden frame. Unexamined out of frame.
