Condition
The board is stable. There is a very milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating. However, UV examination reveals some scattered spots of retouching. A small area has been stabilised in the lower left corner. There are potentially some further spots of stabilizations which do not fluoresce. The impasto is very thick and well-preserved. This work is in overall good condition.
