Condition
The board is sound. There are some minor losses due to abrasion along the upper and lower edges and scattered tiny white spots on the surface, perhaps inherent to the artist's process. Under UV light some minuscule dots appear to fluoresce in the lower right quadrant, otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
