Condition
The work is in good condition overall, as is the panel, with no apparent warps. There is minor wear and handle around the edges. There is one chip (approximately 13 mm) on the upper middle margin, another (approximately 1 cm) long on the lower middle margin, and another on the left edge of the second panel (center) upper left quadrant (approximately 6 mm). There are minor spots of retouching scattered throughout, but noticeable only under ultraviolet light inspection. The colors are more vibrant in reality, the golden tones more prominent, and the red is a rich burgundy than in the catalogue illustration.
