Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and loosely stretched. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. Under raking light, two minor areas of fine craquelure become apparent in areas of black pigment: a two-inch horizontal area in the beard of Christ, and a two-inch vertical area next to the proper right foot of Christ. Under ultraviolet light examination, fluorescence occurs due to the pigments selected by the artist.
