Condition
The panel is sound and there appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is some light frame rubbing along the left side of the lower edge, and to the left edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, though the sky tones are slightly more blue in the original.
