Condition Report

The panel is made up of a single plank, which has additions on all edges (as visible in the catalogue illustration). The paint surface is stable and slightly dirty, and the gold leaf is largely well-preserved, save for an area that appears to have been reapplied, upper right, measuring approx. 2 by 4 cm. The work is in overall very good condition, considering its age. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals an old campaign of restoration: there are small retouchings throughout the clothing of the figures, lower left, and the figure lower right, the two musical angels, and the angel, upper right. There is an area of repaint, 2 cm. diam., in the Madonna's right shoulder, and another, 2 by 6 cm., covering Christ's left side and the Madonna's left hand. There is also spot retouching in the Madonna's face, and Christ's legs and right elbow.
