Condition
The board appears sound. Around the extreme edges of the work there are some very tiny scuffs and losses. There is a fleck of loss to the black pigment just above the centre of the left vertical edge, and a further small fleck of loss to the black in the upper right corner. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in excellent overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals a very small fleck of retouching towards the right side of the lower horizontal edge.
The work is tightly float mounted within a simple wooden frame.
