Condition
The panel is flat, even and ensuring a stable support. Ultraviolet light reveals scattered small spots of green fluorescence which would appear to relate to the old varnish layers rather than corresponding to retouching, of which the only notable signs appear to be two small spots below the signature. The painting is in good condition, and its appearance could be further enhanced with a light surface clean.
Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
