Condition

The panel is sound. UV examination reveals some intermittent retouchings to the extreme framing edges, some further scattered tiny retouchings to the sky, and a few tiny flecks between the first two seated figures far left. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall brighter and fresher in the original.
