Condition

The board appears sound. There are some extremely minor signs of possible old frame abrasion to the extreme edges of the board. There are old nails visible to a few scattered and isolated areas in line with an old framing, but these are only noticeable upon very close inspection. There are some light traces of very minor surface dirt, but this excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition. Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching. Housed within a thick white wooden painted frame, float-mounted within an inner strip frame. Please contact the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
