Condition
Sound board.
There is very minor surface dust, with a tiny spot of craquelure to the blue pigment just beneath the central peach, with one or two very minor spots appearing elsewhere. This excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals a tiny speck of fluorescence and possible retouching to the centre of the bottom edge. This has been very sensitively executed.
Housed in a thick, dark wooden and gilt frame.
