Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to the edges. There are scattered vertical hairline cracks to the wood throughout, visible under close inspection, and one vertical crack in the center that bisects the right and left sides of the panel, which is visible under raking light. There are linear abrasions to the wood, particularly in the right bottom corner of the panel. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are spots along the right and left sides of the panel which fluoresce darkly and appear to be the result of retouching. Framed. *Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
