Condition

Paint loss is visible along the top edge. Warping of the board is occurring and is particularly noticeable in the lower quadrants. The upper left corner of the board is bent and folding. Under ultraviolet inspection, fluorescing occurs but this is more than likely inherent to the pigment used by the artist. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
