Condition
The panel is sound. The surface retains a lovely texture. There is a layer of varnish on the surface. Under UV light a few pindots of inpainting are visible at the extreme lower right corner and a further line of fluorescence, which appears to be original, fluoresces in the center left of the composition as well as a few other original pigments scattered throughout. This work is in very good condition.
