Condition

The panel is in good condition. It displays an aged painted surface with a craquelure that is stable. Several of the nails that are part of its construction have pushed upward on the panel. The seams along the three panels are visible as the wood has aged. Minor scuffs and scratches were seen on the side of the panel. The T-shaped wires are accounted for and swivel in place. A small area of inpainting was observed on the top panel. The paint on the black panels is textured whereas the white panel in between is not. Minor paint loss was noted on the bottom right corner of the bottom black panel.(This condition report has been prepared courtesy of Wilson Conservation, LLC)
