Condition Report

The board is bowed.The paint surface is dirty and will benefit from a clean. There is scattered craquelure throughout, lifting in places, particularly losses to upper left and upper right, but also spots elsewhere. There is a line of craquelure to the lower left corner. UV light reveals infilling of craquelure throughout, some discoloured and visible to the naked eye, and some retouching to the edges.
