Condition
The panel is sound and slightly light stained. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. There are a few pinholes in the lower left and right corners, in upper right corner and to the centre of the upper edge. There is a dot of minor discolouration to the extreme upper left corner and a few minor gold remnant along the left edge, probably related to framing. Impasto is rich and well preserved. This work is in overall very good condition.
