Condition
The board is sound. Examination under UV light reveals a thick varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however there do not appear to be signs of retouching. There are two L-shaped indentations to the board running parallel to each other to the centre of the composition, which are likely inherent to the support. There is a scratch to the surface towards the lower right edge, measuring approx. 4cm. There are minor pigment losses and nicks to the edges due to previous frame abrasion, and a loss to the pigment in the upper left corner, measuring approximately 2cm. This work is in overall good condition.
