Condition

The panel is sound. Inspection under UV light reveals a thick varnish preventing the light from fully penetrating, however there do not appear to be any evidence of retouching.The board is slightly warped. There are some minor pigment losses along the right edge, notably in the lower right corner, likely caused by frame abrasion. This work is in overall good condition.
