This panel has recently been restored and is painted on a single piece of oak which is un-reinforced. The paint layer has been cleaned. A good number of retouches have been added in the sky, particularly in the upper left, and also in the darker colors although to a lesser degree. The retouches address abrasion and discoloration and the picture should be hung as is.
