Condition

The board appears to be sound. There appear to be a few faint surface scratches in the upper left and upper right corners, probably originating from the artist's studio, otherwise the work appears in good overall condition. Under ultraviolet light there appear to be no signs of retouching. Held under glass in a grey wooden box frame; clean and ready to hang.
