Condition

The work is in very good condition. The panel has been cradled and a little pigment has been lost at each of the four extreme corners. There are also a few very minor flecks of pigment lost to the grey sky at upper right. The impasto is thick, textured and well-preserved. Under UV light: a few strokes of retouching appear to be confined to the lower right edge just above the corner.
