Condition

The painted wooden panel is in good condition and exhibits an aged paint layer with a stable craquelure. On the yellow and white paint several small areas of paint is being pushed up from movement from the nail below. No paint loss has occurred as a result of this movement. Several old repairs to the white panel were detected on the top edge, the PL side, and two small areas on the bottom edge. Tiny accretions were observed on the paint along the central horizontal line. Dimensional changes in the wood were noted, which included a horizontal crack that runs the width of the panel near the bottom and that the panel no longer rests flat against the wall. Minor surface soiling was found on the surface as well as a ΒΌ" gouge in the painted white wood panel on the proper left side below the central line.(This condition report has been prepared courtesy of Wilson Conservation, LLC)
