Condition
The panel is flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. There is a very fine circa 2cm vertical split in the lower left corner running through the back of the panel and some minor frame rubbing along the extreme edges, covered by the frame. Ultra-violet light reveals a layer of thick residual varnish which makes the surface quite difficult to read. However, some strokes of retouching are visible in the background around the main figure and in the upper left corner. The picture is otherwise in good condition and ready to hang.
Presented in a decorative frame.
