Condition

The caséine is sound. UV examination reveals a spot of retouching to the lower part of the right edge and some further small lines in places to the extreme edges. The upper right, upper left and lower left corners are slightly scuffed. There is some minor paint shrinkage in the white pigment and there is a small surface scratch (approx 1cm long) towards the centre of the lower edge. This work is good overall condition.
