This panel is cradled on the reverse. It is made from two sections of wood joined vertically approximately two and a half inches from the right edge. The paint layer has been cleaned and has most likely become a little warmer and darker over the years, yet the condition is nonetheless very good. The paint layer is al ittle dirty and there are a few retouches addressing the join in the panel and a few blemishes in the sky. Overall the condition is very good.
