Condition
The work is in very good condition. The board is sound. There is a pinhole to the upper left corner as well as minor losses and abrasions to that corner as well as the upper right and lower right corners. The work is nicely textured and the colors are bright and fresh. There are some minor scuffs, otherwise fine. Under UV, certain original pigments fluoresce, but no inpainting is apparent.
