Condition
The board is stable. There are a few scattered pigment losses along the extreme edges associated with frame rubbing. There is some pigment shrinkage in places, notably to the orange pigment. There are some minor scattered flecks of paint loss, the larger of which is in the moon. This work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a clean.
