Condition

The panel is in good condition. There are five small pin holes and slight areas of paint loss in the center left. There are two small areas of impact lower right and lower left, with minor paint loss associated with these areas. UNDER UV: Some minor areas of inpainting in sheep along left, and slight uneven varnish upper right. While the work is genuine, the date and signature do not seem coeval with the painting.
