Condition

The panel is sound. Examination under UV light reveals no signs of retouching. A pin-sized spot of paint loss is visible towards the centre of the lower left quadrant. There is a fine horizontal surface abrasion (about 8cm in length) to the upper left quadrant and another vertical one at the centre of the right edge. There is some minor frame rubbing to the extreme edges and some pooling to the varnish in places along the edges. This work is in overall good condition.
