Condition

The board is ever so slightly bowed and there is general wear to all four edges and corners. There are pinholes in places and there is a small loss to the board in the centre of the upper edge. The remnants of gold paint from a frame are visible along the upper edge. Fine craquelure is scattered throughout the composition. There is some staining in the upper right quadrant and a general layer of surface dirt. Inspection under UV light reveals no apparent signs of restoration. Held behind glass in a wooden frame with painted decorations. Unexamined out of frame.
