Condition
The board is stable and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is a crease with some associated paint loss to the upper right corner, and some further paint loss along the upper edge, possibly associated to some previous frame rubbing, with some support loss. The tip of the lower left corner has been repaired and there is some minor associated paint loss. Otherwise this work is in good condition.
