Condition
The board is sound. The pigments are thickly applied with generous impasto. There is a small 2x1 cm surface loss in the upper right corner and some minor and stable natural warping in the board. Under ultraviolet light, certain pigments fluoresce but this seems to be natural and there do not appear to be any restorations. This work is in very good condition.
