Condition
The board is sound and the surface is nicely textured although a little dirty. One small nick to the board at extreme upper edge at left. There is some stable hairline shrinkage in the red and yellow above center and at lower left towards the edge. There are a few scuffs to the surface at lower left and above the music score which may be original to the artist's process. There are a few thin lines of craqueleuere at center right in the blue and white pigment which are very slightly lifting. Under UV light there are a few very sensitive dots of inpainting to address some craqueleuere to the blue at center right. Otherwise fine. This work is in good condition.
