Condition
Oil on panel laid down on panel. The panels are sound. There appear to be no traces of retouching visible under UV light. There is a chip to the upper right corner. There is some pigment loss to areas of the composition and a fine horizontal line across both boards towards the lower edge where the panels join. There are some natural irregularities with minor associated paint loss to the extreme edges of each panel. Otherwise, this work is in good condition.
