Condition

There is a small indentation in the board in the upper right quadrant which is visible in the catalogue illustration. The paint surface appears to be in very good sound condition overall - it would simply benefit from a light clean to remove surface dirt. The varnish has also discoloured slightly. Under ultra-violet light no retouchings are evident. Held under glass in a wooden frame with a gold painted cross-section. Though structurally sound the work would benefit from re-presentation.
