The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com , an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's. This interesting and complex triptych is in lovely condition. There are a couple of unrestored paint losses in both the left and right sections of the triptych. There is one in the left hand section to the immediate left of the wing of the angel and in the right hand section, in the dress of the saint beneath her book. In the central sculpted panel there appear to be no losses and the complex technique, which includes the frame, has been very well preserved. As unusual as it may seem, this work seems to have survived beautifully over the centuries. Under ultraviolet light there are only a few tiny dots of retouch visible in both the side sections of the panel and presumably there are a few spots in the central manger scene, yet they are isolated and the condition is extremely good.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.

A variety of attributions for this triptych have been proposed, although none totally convincingly.  One suggestion was that it is by the hand of Antonio da Fabriano and a second that it is an artist close to Niccolò da Foligno, called Niccolò di Liberatore, L'Alunno.
