Condition
The board appears sound. The paint surface is dirty with a layer of discoloured vanish. There are a few fine lines of craqulure in places predominantly towards the edges of the board. UV light reveals no apparent retouching, however the presence of an opaque layer of vanish prevents a more conclusive examination. Held in a simple wooden frame. Unexamined out of frame.
