Condition
Executed on cradled panel. The panel is sound. Minor frame abrasions are visible along the bottom left edge. The surface is richly textured. Under UV light: the dark green pigments fluoresce darkly and an uneven layer of varnish is difficult to read through. Minor areas of inpainting are visible to the upper right and top right edges, likely to address frame abrasion. The work is in good condition.
