Condition
The board is sound. There are a very few scattered and small losses around the extreme edges, possibly from frame abrasion. These are not visible when the work is viewed in the frame. There is an area of loss to the blue pigment at the centre of the composition. There are scuffs and scraps to the paint surface which appear to be inherent to the Artist's working technique. There are two small areas of paint cracking and lifting in the blue pigment to the right of the composition. The signature appears to have faded slightly. There is a layer of surface dirt to the work. Subject to the above the picture is in good overall condition.
Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of retouching.
The work is held under glass and presented in a painted frame.
