Condition
The medium is oil on wood panel. The surface is in good condition. The panel has an extremely slight wave to it about an inch from the visible right edge, not visible to the naked eye. Under UV there are scattered areas of inpainting mostly in the sky comprising the majority of the upper left quadrant; there are few small areas of inpainting in the central portion of the picture plane. The colors are crisp and the work presents well.
