Thence by descent to the present owner

Executed on board. The board appears stable. There is a layer of Perspex preventing the UV light from fully penetrating; however, there do not appear to be any signs of re-touching. There are two tiny losses to both blue elements and a pin-sized hole towards the upper right corner, all of which are probably inherent to the artist's process, and there is some surface abrasion towards the lower right corner. This work appears to be in very good original condition.
