Condition

Tempera on original canvas. The surface is a little dirty and covered with a light layer of varnish. The paint layer is a little thin, and in many places the canvas is visible below. Pigment has been lost to the corners of the composition, and there are a couple extremely minor flakes of paint that have been lost to the composition. Under UV a small repair and some minor retouches are visible to the lower right, though the varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. Held in a modern wood frame with cloth slip. Unexamined out of frame.
