Condition
The wooden construction appears to be stable. The central element appears slightly bowed. There is a screw missing at the upper right edge of the work. There is surface dirt, staining and matter across the piece, particularly in the pitted areas and along the upper edge. There are traces of paint along the upper edge which may or may not be studio detritus. On close examination craquelure is visible in some of the light and dark brown pigment tones and there are some small associated losses. With the exception of the above the work appears to be in good and original condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of florescence or retouching.
The work is unframed.
