Condition
Painted on both sides of beveled panel. The panel is sound and protected on both sides by glass. There is a thick layer of varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating. However, UV light examination reveals a small restoration at the centre of the left edge on the reverse. There is a hairline crack at the upper right corner of the recto (4cm), and on the corresponding location on the verso.
