Condition

The board is stable. THere is a very milky and uneven varnish, however UV examination reveals areas of fluoresce which appears to relate to pigment as well as the uneven application of varnish. There are scattered fly spots which can be remove. There are fine lines of paint shrinkage in the lower part of the composition. There is a pigment loss to the lower part of the right edge and some frame rubbing visible along the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a clean.
