Condition Report:
The board appears sound. There are some minor losses and surface abrasions located in the upper left corner, near centre of left edge, along the lower and right edges; otherwise the work appears in good overall condition.

Ultraviolet light reveals some occasional spots of florescence, some of which maybe retouching, some which appears to be the result of uneven varnish.

Held under glass in a composite frame; unexamined out of frame.
