Condition

The metal plate is sound. Close inspection reveals some traces of rust at the extreme edges and some very minor surface scratches consistent with a normal level of wear. There is a trace of glue on the reverse. The impasto is stable and there is no evidence of retouching under UV light. This work is in overall very good original condition.
