Condition

The board is flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. There are some pinhead-size nail holes visible along the framing edges, some covered in paint. Ultra-violet reveals a layer of varnish which prevents it from penetrating; however, there appears to be no sign of retouching. The picture is in good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a wooden frame with a silver inner slip.
