Condition

The ultra violet light reveals a strong yellowish fluorescent varnish spread disomogeneusly over the surface. Probably an attempt of cleaning it was made during an old restoration. There are retouches over the surface and over the most evident craquelures. Due to the strong varnish the entity of the restorations cannot be established. It needs a careful cleansing.
