Condition
Board is sound. Surface is slightly dirty and minor scattered surface stains are visible; would most likely benefit from a professional cleaning. Colors are bright and fresh. There is a thin crack to the paint layer running diagonally across the bottom of the lower right quadrant and a few minor thin areas of cracking are visible throughout. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce. Small spots of inpainting are visible throughout the composition. Most notably there is a surface repair at the lower right corner corresponding to the aforementioned crack. Overall the work is in good condition.
