Condition
The panel is sound. There is a layer of varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination reveals a fine vertical line of retouching above the main figure's hair to the left of the pole, a fine horizontal line of retouching above the lady's right forearm and a few spots towards the lower edge. This work is in overall good condition.
