Condition

The panel is sound. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination does not appear to reveal any signs of re-touching. There is some light surface wear with some associated flecks of pigment loss in places, most prominently to the sky, and a pigment loss approx. 3mm wide to the lower right corner. This work appears to be in good overall condition.
