Condition
The panel, composed of three vertical planks of wood, is uncradled. A vertical crack, which has been filled in and retouched, is visible running through the centre of the panel. The paint surface is secure, other than a small vertical crack of approximately 10 cm at the upper left. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals an even varnish and small, scattered retouchings throughout the figures. The figure of the Virgin is largely free of retouchings, other than those to the aforementioned vertical crack.
The work is offered unframed.
