The vertical dark area left of the white horse on the left hand side is re-painted/ strenthened. There is further less consistent re-touching to elements of the outline / definition of the figure group on the left hand side and the seated figures in the centre. The paint is thin in places, presumably by execution and the board is showing through, especially the lower right hand corner. Surface dirt and discoloured varnish. Minor rubbing to some edges.
