Condition
Panel is uncradled and bevelled on all four sides. the paint surface is well retained and detail remains very good throughout. Under UV light, a small area fluoresces at lower right corner, but this appears to be due to uneveness in the varnish. some very small retouches can be seen at extreme edges. there is no need for any further work and painting can be hung as is.
In a carved and gilt wood frame.
