Condition
Tempera on paper, laid down on board; the board is stable. The right edge of the sheet has been torn from a book and there are some associated medium losses. UV examination reveals some fluorescence to the billboard (approx. 3 by 3cm.) relating to the pigment used. There are fine lines of stable craquelure in places to the billboard. There is a rich impasto to the young figures and this work is in overall very good condition.
