Condition

The board is sound. There is a thick varnish which prevents further examination. Under UV light, there are some scattered areas of fluorescence (possibly retouching) mostly due to frame rubbing, two scattered spots towards the center of the left edge and a 3x1 cm area on the right next to the left hand. Otherwise this work is in very good condition
