Condition

The board is stable. Inspection under UV light reveals a small area of fluorescence to the centre of the lower edge. There is some frame rubbing visible along all four edges with some small associated losses in places. There is a further loss to the support approximately 3mm. wide towards the upper part of the left edge. There are some small specks of gold paint along the lower and upper edge which are deposits from a frame. There is some paint shrinkage notably to the green pigment to the left of the composition. This work is in overall good condition.
