Condition

The panel appears to have been cradled at one time; there are two vertical grooves on the panel's reverse. There is evidence that the panel has been flattened, as there are horizontal disturbances to the picture surface, visible in raking light, that match the splits of the panel. Under UV, there is a 4 inch horizontal line of inpainting through the lower quarter of the window at upper left and a 3 inch lorizontal line of inpainting through the bookshelves at lower right. There are additional small scattered areas of inpainting along the edges.
