Oil on board; the board is stable and taped intermittently to the mount, and floating in the mount. There do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is an artist's pin hole to the centre of the board and some inherent irregularity to the surface of the board. There are some very minor losses to the edges and some light abrasion around the right half of the curved edge due to previous framing. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
