The relief and board both appear to be sound. There is some slight rounding to the extreme corners of the outer board, and some minor nicks and flecks of loss to the extreme edges and upper corners. The board has been worked by the Artist and as such there are some nicks and dents to both boards and some areas of inconsistent texture, in keeping with the Artist's working methods. There are some areas of possible retouching to the centre of the board. This excepting the work appears to be in very good overall condition. Inspection under ultra violet light confirms the presence of the aforementioned retouchings. The work is framed.
