Condition
The panel is flat and has been strengthened on the back with a horizontal baton. Ultra-violet light reveals areas of fluorescence due to uneven varnish and scattered retouching, notably some strokes along the upper framing edge and one horizontal line running across the centre of the panel, possibly addressing an old split now secured. The picture is otherwise in good condition and ready to hang.
Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
