Condition

Oil on board, the board is stable. There is a thick varnish which prevents UV light form fully penetrating; however, examination under UV light reveals some spots of retouching to the edges, primarily to the right part of the upper edge and the upper part of the right edge, and two further tiny spots of retouching to the sky. There is a loss to the upper right corner of the board and small losses to the other three corners. Overall this work is in good condition.
