Condition
This painting has most likely been relined. There is craquelure throughout the work but the surface appears to be in stable condition. There is a 3 in. vertical scratch/crack in the lower left corner. Under ultraviolet light there appears to be an opaque varnish. There is evidence of retouching along all edges consistent with frame abrasions. There is also evidence of possible inpainting to fill in the larger cracks in the work. There are several lines of inpainting to the left of the Virgin's hands in the golden area and in her neck to repair paint losses and craquelure. Overall in stable condition.
