Condition Report

The work is in good, virtually original condition The panel is uncradled and flat and even. Under close inspection there are some possible small spots of paint flaking in the lower left quadrant which are not visually distracting, and some very fine scattered lines of craquelure corresponding to the grain of the panel. Under ultraviolet light there are a few small scattered spots which may correspond to very minor retouchings. Colours are fresher and less yellow in reality than in the catalogue illustration.
