Condition

The board is stable. There is some significant wear and loss to all four corners, not visible when framed. Examination under UV light does not reveal any evidence of retouching. There are what appear to be some tiny paint losses in places, including to the figure's left shoulder, which are possibly inherent to the artist's process. This work is in overall good condition.
