The single panel is flat and cradled to the reverse. The paint surface is secure if a little abraded. Old discoloured retouchings are visible to the naked eye. There is some frame abrasion. The varnish is discoloured and prevents thorough UV examination but a recent area of retouching fluoresces. Offered in a northern rippled frame in reasonable condition with minor knocks.
