Condition

The panel is sound. There is some frame rubbing to all four edges with some assocaited paint loss. There is a milky varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating however UV examination reveals a possible area of old retouching to the left of the central mast. This work would benefit from a clean and it is in overall very good condition.
