Condition

There are some minor cracks and nail holes in the reverse of the panel, but it is in overall good condition. The paint surface is a little dirty and covered in a light layer of varnish. There is very minor craquelure and a small fleck of paint (apprx. 1/4cm.) has been lost in the upper right region. Under UV no repairs are visible, though the varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. Held in a gold painted wood frame. Unexamined out of frame.
