Condition
The panel is cradled and is stable. There is a layer of varnish on the surface. Under UV light: numerous pindot retouches throughout the composition, mostly concentrated in the sky. A few larger strokes in sky at upper left, in the figure at far left's back, and at center of bottom edge. All restoration have been very sensitively done, and the work presents very nicely. Overall the work is in generally good condition.
