Condition
The board is stable. There is a 2cm. line of retouching running down from the left of the upper edge, a small spot of retouching to the centre of the left edge, and some nailhead-sized spots of retouching to the right hand lapel of the figure's jacket, all visible under UV light. Apart from some medium wear around the edges of the work due to frame rubbing, a few scattered specks of paint loss and an uneven varnish, this work is in fairly good condition.
Colours: The colours are slightly deeper in the original.
