Condition
The board has been very slightly unevenly cut, only visible to the extreme edges. There are two very fine lines of surface cracking appearing in the bottom left corner, with further minor horizontal surface cracks appearing to the composition in line with the grain of the board. The back of the board has not been inspected.
There are signs of minor abrasion to the extreme edges, with further resultant traces of light loss, surface dirt and varnish discolouration apparent and further traces of old discolour adhesive apparent to the edges. The varnish appears to have discoloured in places.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching.
Housed in a thin gilt and painted wooden frame.
