Condition
The board appears sound. The extreme edges of the board are slightly uneven, in keeping with the Artist's materials, and there are very small losses to the extreme edges at the upper left and upper right corners, with a few further extremely minor losses in places along the extreme edges, only visible upon close inspection. There is a very small area of fine craquelure to the extreme edge in the lower left corner, and a small area of lifting to the upper half of the extreme left edge. There are fine lines of craquelure in places where the paint is covering artist's nailheads. There is a light layer of surface dirt to the work, with one or two small specks of studio matter. Subject to the above the work is in excellent overall condition.
Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals areas of flourescence in keeping with the Artist's materials, and there are a few flecks and spots of retouching to the extreme edges as well as one or two spots to the foreground of the composition and a few scattered flecks elsewhere.
The work is held within a silver painted moulded composition frame under glass.
