Condition
The panel is in very good condition. The paint is tightly bound with no significant paint loss evident on the panel. The edge of one of the blue stripes on the right side appears thin. Several impressions in the wood were found in a blue stripe near the top and panel. A scratch in the form of small consecutive nicks in the wood were seen on the bottom section of the panel through the black lines.
