The panel is uncradled and slightly bowed. The paint surface is dirty and the varnish is discoloured. Numerous small losses, some of which have been retouched are patently visible to the naked eye. The majority of the gilding has disappeared and is evident only around the silhouette of the Madonna and the edges. There is a superficial, vertical surface crack which runs from the centre of the upper margin into the Madonna's face. Inspection under ultraviolet light is impeded by the varnish which fluoresces opaquely, but it does not appear to reveal anything further to the intervention that is already visible to the naked eye. In overall fair condition.
