Condition
The panel is uncradled, stable and flat.
The paint surface is covered by an uneven and very yellow varnish. There are small areas where the upper glazes have worn off, the most pronounced of which are in the upper right of the gold background, in the right of the Virgin's face, and in her hands. These have been retouched and are visible under close inspection using a strong torch.
Inspection under ultraviolet light shows a milky varnish, making it very difficult to detect restoration work. What is visible is a very small repair to the left of the Virgin's mouth and the aforementioned retouching of thinned areas (clearer to see in normal light than under ultraviolet light).
This lot is offered in a plain wood frame, painted gold with much age to the paint, but structurally sound.
