Condition
The panel is sound. There are four thin lines of retouching running from the top edge, probably to cover hairline cracks caused by the grain of the panel. There are some pinhead-sized spots of retouching to the extreme left of the upper edge. All retouching is visible under UV light. Apart from a line of pinhead-sized spots of retouching near the right corner of the upper edge, this work is in good condition.
Colours: The colours are more blue in the original.
