Condition

The board is stable. There are a few tiny spots of paint loss in places, predominately along the extreme edges. Under UV light, there is a milky varnish preventing UV light to fully penetrate. However, there appears to be two spots of retouching to the upper right corner and a few additional smaller lines and dots of retouching along the extreme edges. This work is in good original condition.
