Condition
The panel is sound, the two added elements are firmly fixed and there appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There are some very minor paint losses to the edges and some tiny specks of surface accretion, mainly towards the lower edge. Otherwise, apart from some fine hairline cracks to the surface, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the green is slightly more vibrant and less yellow in the original.
