Condition
The board is stable and the panel is cradled and sound. UV light examination reveals scattered lines of retouchings in places, predominantly along the upper and left edges and away from the central composition. There are artist's pin holes to the upper and lower left corners and the centre of the right edge. There are some scattered dark pin-sized spots of accretion to the sky, possibly original. This work is in overall good condition and would benefit from a light clean.
