Condition

The board appears sound. There are two very slight possible scuffs to the upper right quadrant. There is some light surface dirt in places, including one or two specks of matter. There are some extremely tiny flecks of loss to the brown pigment near the upper horizontal edge. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching. The work is presented in a simple wooden frame with fabric-covered mount. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
