This work is in good condition. The work contains slightly loose stretcher tension, thus minor undulation along the edges. Very close inspection reveals some unobtrusive tension cracks in places along the outer edge. There is evidence of a small impact with associated hairline crack towards the upper right corner (20 cm from top, 7 cm from right), and another minor dent to the centre bottom edge, with a hairline crack to the right of that. Further extremely close inspection reveals a few tiny hairline cracks towards the centre left edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
