Condition
The panel is providing a good stable support. There is a very fine vertical surface crack in the lower left hand quadrant, this is not visible on the reverse of the panel and is only visible upon close inspection. The work appears to be in good overall condition and is clean and ready to hang. UV light inspection reveals a few very minor specks of retouching just above the central figure, however, a heavy layer of opaque varnish obscures further reading. Held in a decorative gilt frame.
