Attributed to Fernando del Rincòn del Figueroa

A single panel with two old, very thin additions on either side, each measuring 0.8cm. The panel is beveled on all four edges and there is an old inlay support attached to the panel in the upper right corner, measuring 3x5 cm. where the panel appears to have warped slightly in the past. The verso is covered in a delicate layer of wax to protect the wood. The upper and lower edges have some minor knocks. The colours are well-preserved and bold, some of the infilling of craquelure has discoloured. Many details retain their delicacy, noteably in the hands and in the clothing of the angel. A knock in the lower left corner. This lot is offered without a frame.
