Condition

The board is stable. There is a thick layer of varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating. There are a few tiny cracks which are stable to the centre of the extreme lower edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall lighter and brighter in the original.
