There are two horizontal splits running through the entire width of the board, on the reverse. However, these are not visible on the front. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals areas of uneven fluorescence due to old residual varnish. Some small spots of retouching addressing paint loss are visible along the left edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a gilt frame with a white inner slip.
