Condition
The board is stable and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There are a few tiny scratches to the surface of the board predominantly towards the lower right corner. There is some frame rubbing to the upper two corners. There are some scattered fly spots and some environmental spots, most probably mould throughout the composition. This work is in overall good condition.
