Condition
The panel is flat and even. Under ultraviolet light, there do not appear to be any signs of retouching however the yellowed, dirty varnish makes the surface difficult to read. Overall the work appears to be in good condition and would benefit from a surface clean. Held in a decorative gold-painted frame.
