Board is stable. Artist's pinholes are visible at upper corners and in center of top edge. Surface retains a rich impasto. There is some minor surface dirt, especially in the ridges of the pain layer. Under UV light: a few pindots of surface dirt fluoresce, but no inpainting is apparent. Overall the work is in excellent condition.
