Condition
Panel is sound with few small nicks visible at the extreme left and right corners of the canvas, as well as pin-dot scuffs at the center of the upper right quadrant and towards the top of the lower right quadrant. A few other scattered scuffs are very minor. Under UV light: a thick layer of varnish is difficult to read through, but no inpainting is apparent. Overall the work is in very good condition.
