Condition

This work is in very good condition. The board is sound and the surface bears a rich and textured impasto. Under UV light a few thin strokes of inpainting are visible at extreme lower right corner and a few more hairline retouches are visible around the extreme perimeter, likely to address prior frame abrasion, otherwise fine.
