Condition

The panel is flat and even and ensuring a stable support. Under ultraviolet light the varnish layer fluoresces quite opaquely obscuring a clear reading of the surface, however the only visible notable retouches are minor spots addressing frame rubbing at the right framing edge and a spot in the lower left corner. This painting is in good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame with a nameplate.
