Condition
The board appears sound. Around the extreme edges of the canvas, there are one or two very tiny nicks and scuffs, with one or two possible tiny flecks of loss. There is a small surface scratch in the lower right quadrant, which may be in keeping with the artist's working method. There are some fine lines of reticulation apparent to the dark green pigment just to the left of centre. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching.
The work is float mounted and presented in a simple wooden frame.
