ITALIAN, EARLY 15TH CENTURY | Christ as the Man of Sorrows

There is evidence of past worming throughout, in particular to the underside and to the reverse. There are losses to the proper left arm and the proper right forearm, probably due to past worming. The tip of the nose has been reattached. There is minor stable splitting to the wood, consistent with the material, including to some of the high points of the drapery. The polychromy has probably been partially refreshed. Otherwise the condition of the wood is stable, with some dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age.
