Condition
The colours are bright; the panel is sound but slightly convex upon close examination. Under UV light, a few small strokes of minor retouching fluoresce around the edges and in the background, with one thin 1cm line and dot on the sitters neck and a patch to the left of the signature. Otherwise this work is in very good condition.
