Condition
This work is in good condition. The board is also in good condition and is free from cracking or warping. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals scattered spots of retouching throughout the painting, but primarily on the right register and along the edges and margins (most notably on the left edge and margins). The paint layers and brush-strokes are nicely preserved and are in good and sound condition. The colour of the painting is warmer and less orange in reality. Framed.
