Condition
The panel is sound. There is a 10cm. line of retouching running vertically down from the right of the upper edge to cover a previous crack in the panel. There is a line of retouching 1cm. wide running across the top edge and around the upper left and upper right corners. All retouching is visible under UV light. Apart from some small areas of retouching in the sky around the building with the red roof, this work is in fairly good condition.
