STRUCTURE
the panel is flat and appears to be providing a stable support for the painting. There are no signs of craquelure and the paint surface appears to be clean. The picture is ready to hang.
UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
There are minor retouchings to the extremities where the paint surface had been rubbed by the rebate of the frame. The varnish appears opaque making a conclusive reading of other retouchings difficult.
