Condition
The panel is joined vertically across the centre and has split slightly at the bottom edge which has caused some minor loss to the surface. The support is slightly warped but is otherwise sound. The edges are uneven, especially so at the top and bottom. There are some chips and scuffs along the edges of the panel, with some minor associated paint loss. There are signs of old woodworm visible along the edges and back of the panel. There are two screw holes to the reverse where the panel is attached to the frame. The paint surface is covered in a layer of dirt. Examination under UV light does not reveal any signs of restoration. Unexamined out of frame.
