Condition
The board is stable. There is a varnish which appears to have discoloured. There are natural irregularities to the board prominent to the white house in the lower right quadrant. There is a paint loss (approx 1 cm wide) to the lower left quadrant. There are small fly spots scattered thoughout and some dirt marks in places. There does not appear to be any retouching visible under UV light. This work is in good condition and would benefit from a clean.
