Condition

The board is very slightly raised in the center but otherwise appears to be stable. Ultraviolet light reveals scattered clusters of tiny spots of retouching which are just visible to the naked eye. There is a pattern of craquelure visible under close inspection in the gum arabic. This work is otherwise overall in good and fresh condition. Presented in a decorative gilt frame, and unglazed.
