Condition

STRUCTURE: The panel is sound and in good original condition. SURFACE: The paint surface is dirty and would benefit from cleaning. The panel has rubbed against the edges of the frame. The painting is dirty (and there are one or two indentations in the top left hand corner) and should benefit from cleaning. UV LIGHT: Under UV Light the painting appears to be untouched. FRAME: Contained in an original Victorian plaster moulded frame (slightly damaged and repainted with gold paint). COLOUR COMPARISON: Colour is not as hot as the catalogue illustration suggests.
