Condition
The artist's panel is flat, even and ensuring a stable support. There are a couple of very small surface dents in the panel in the upper-right quadrant, in the sky. Under ultra-violet light the old varnish layers fluoresce quite opaquely, however there do not appear to be any notable signs of retouching. This work is in good condition, and could benefit from a surface clean.
Presented in a decorative gilt, coved and fluted frame, with a nameplate.
