Condition

The panel bows very slightly. There is a craquelure pattern across the surface and some spots of bitumen in isolated areas of the canvas. The surface is dirty and should benefit from a light clean. UV light reveals infilling to areas of the craquelure and some other areas of retouching about the panel. Held in a gilt plaster frame.
