The panel is sound. There appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is some minor surface dirt and a tiny nick to the centre of the lower edge. Otherwise, this work appears to be in good original condition. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the colours are overall softer in the original, especially the reds and greens.
