Condition

The board is slightly warped. The paint surface is slightly dirty. There is a small crack approximately 1.5cm in length, which has resulted from the presence of a nail to hold the board in the frame to the lower middle edge. There are six pinholes in each corner and at the centre of the top and bottom edges. There are flecks of paint loss to the top right inner frame edge. There are spots of media staining and minor scratches. UV light reveals aforementioned repairs and a few minor flecks elsewhere. Held in a simple black modern frame. Unexamined out of frame.
