Condition
The board is stable and the panel is cradled and sound. UV examination reveals scattered spots of retouching predominantly to the sky and in places along the extreme edges, away from the central composition. There are artist's pin holes to the upper and lower right corners and the upper left corner. The extreme edges are slightly worn in places. This work is in overall good condition and would benefit from a light clean.
