Condition

Executed on board; the board is stable though gently undulating. Examination under UV light reveals no signs of retouching. All four edges have slightly discoloured and have signs of abrasion, which has been caused by frame rubbing, not visible when framed. There are a few scattered tiny fly spots. This work may benefit from a light clean, but is in overall good condition.
