Condition
The panel is sound. A close inspection reveals some stable hairline craquelures which follow the natural grain of the panel. Apart from three small areas of fluorescence visible under UV light which appear to correspond to a loss of varnish, the most important of which is located at the top of the headland, this work is in very good original condition.
