Condition
This work is in good condition overall. Scarcely scattered throughout the panels are very minor pinpoint paint losses, visible only upon close examination and consistent with the age of the work. Evidence of minor wear and abrasion observed along the connecting edges of the panels which coincides with the work's intrinsic function. Faint hairline scratches are observed under raking light, located near the bottom of the far right panel and the third panel from the left. A small stain is observed, located 20 cm from the left and 10 cm from the bottom of the third panel. A minor tear is observed to the reverse backing of the second panel from the far left, which does not affect the recto of the panel.
