Condition

The wood is sound and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching under UV light. The tip of a framer's nail is visible at the centre of the upper edge. There are small naturally occurring cracks in the wood, the largest of which is visible towards the centre of the right edge. This work is in overall very good condition.
