Condition

This work is in very good condition. There is some frame abrasion at the edges and a small diagonal split at the far lower right corner. There are vertical hairline cracks where the panel is joined 8 ¾ inches from the left edge and 8 inches from the right edge. Under UV: the varnish fluoresces unevenly. There are two spots of inpainting near the lower left edge, one spot in the angel's robe in the lower right quadrant, and a few other minor scattered dots.
