Condition
The panel is sound. There is a layer of milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however, UV examination reveals a few small spots of fluorescence to the upper right quadrant, which could pertain to retouching. The panel is slightly warped and there is some light wear to the extreme edges, consistent with age and handling. This work is in overall good condition and might benefit from a light clean.
