The panel is supported on the reverse with two horizontal battens. There is a vertical repaired split which runs the height of the panel about 1/3 of the way from the left margin through the faces of the Madonna and Child. There is a further, shorter split just to the left of this, with associated retouching also approx. 12 cm. long. The panel is otherwise flat, with a dirty paint surface and discoloured varnish. Discoloured retouchings are visible in the Madonna's hair, her chest and the upper part of her red dress, and scattered in the sky. Inspection under ultraviolet light confirms all these, as well as revealing minor pin-prick retouchings in the Madonna's neck, around the Christ child's hair, and scattered in the Madonna's robes, but the opaque, milky varnish makes older intervention impossible to discern, though it seems likely that there was further historic intervention. In overall moderate condition.
