Unframed: 45 by 35cm.; 17¾ by 13¾in.

The panel is flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a heavy layer of residual varnish which prevents the UV from fully penetrating. However, there appear to be no notable signs of retouching as far as can be seen. This work would benefit from a surface clean addressing the old yellowed varnish layers.
