Condition
The panel is sound. There are possibly some small flecks of retouching to the figure and the horse though a proper reading of this is hindered by a fluorescing varnish layer. There is a tiny scuff towards the upper centre edge, otherwise the paint surface is in good condition. Held in a simple gilt wood frame.
