Condition
The board is very slightly bowed. There are faint signs of craquelure to the white duck and small discoloured area on its back. There are what appear to be small wax deposits by the upper left edge and on the duck's foot, which should be removable. The surface is slightly dirty and should benefit from a light clean.
UV light reveals no apparent signs of retouching.
