Condition
The board is very slightly bowed but is otherwise sound. There is a small fleck of paint loss to the top left corner, barely visible when framed and there are a few frame abrasions to the surface mainly at the edges, including two fine lines to the extreme lower edge. There is a further thin 2cm. vertical scratch towards the centre right background, probably inherent to the artist's process. Under Uv light, there are some flecks of retouching visible along the left edge, probably due to previous frame abrasion. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
