Lot 28

Inspection under natural and UV light indicates the work is in very good condition with no damage or later painting apparent.

There are a few very slight, short, and unobtrusive shrinkage cracks scattered across the work evidently caused by shrinking in the veneer of the plywood panel (as visible in the catalogue photos, most apparent in the area painted white at the upper right corner).

The work is housed in gilt and black-painted cassetta frame that is probably around twenty years old and generally remains in good condition excepting a small hole and associated repainting in the plate at top centre.
