Condition
The panel is sound. There are a few tiny nicks along the extreme right and left edges, inherent to the medium. Under UV light, the thin layer of varnish on the surface of work is difficult to read through. However, small retouches are visible near the figure's hands, a few pin dots visible to the face and scattered along the extreme edges, likely due to prior frame abrasion. This work is in good condition.
