Flemish School, 16th Century

The support consists of a panel split vertically down the centre which is bevelled on all four sides. The left hand panel has a slight convex bow. The paint surface is secure but there is substantial retouching to many of the details and where the paint has thinned. There is also retouching along the panel split and all these retouchings flouresce clearly under UV light. Offered in a later wooden frame.
