Condition

The panel is sound. There are a few tiny lines and dots of retouching visible under UV light along the extreme edges, notably to the left part of the upper edge and to the left part of the lower edge, as well as an additional tiny dot of retouching in the brown shape towards the centre of the composition. Close inspection reveals some minor frame rubbing along the edges. This work is in very good condition.
