Condition
The panel is sound and is floating in its mount. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. The extreme edges are slightly scuffed with associated dots of paint losses along the extreme edges. There are some minor stable lines of craquelure, most predominately to the white pigment and some handling marks in places, possibly studio. This work is in overall very good condition.
