Condition
The board is stable. There are areas of retouching to all four edges visible under UV light, probably to cover previous frame rubbing. Apart from a 2 cm. square area of retouching to the extreme top right corner, visible under UV light, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the blues are stronger in the original, particularily in the sky.
