Condition

The panel is sound. There is a layer of milky varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination reveals scattered lines of retouching to the lower left quadrant. There are some remnants of pigment from previous framing intermittently along all four edges. The panel has been worn along the extreme edges (minor splits). There is a faint horizontal scratch from the upper part of the right edge. This work is in overall good condition.
