Condition

The board is flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. There is one small spot of flaking in the dark blue pigments in the upper left corner, visible in the catalogue illustration, and some very small spots of paint loss along the extreme framing edges, notably in the upper right corner. Ultra-violet light reveals no visible sign of retouching. This picture is otherwise in good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a silver floating frame.
