There are vertical lines in the surface of the painting throughout - these are running down the grains of the board. The most prominent of these runs from the top centre. 8 old worm holes to the board. The back of the board has some minor losses to the edges. Colours appear very good and overall sound condition. Faint white dots across the painting looks like inadvertent paint stains. These look like they will clean off fairly easily. The frame has some age-related wear.
