Condition
The board appears sound. There is some slight rounding to the edges of the board, and there are some very small flecks of loss to the edges in places, most apparent at the right vertical edge. There may be one or two slight scuffs in the upper and lower left corners. There is a small speck of surface dirt near the lower part of the left edge. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition, with the Artist's workings and scratching to the surface throughout.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching.
The work is presented in a metallic and fabric-covered frame.
