The panel is flat, stable, and cradled. There is a thick masking varnish covering the paint layer, which has discolored over time and given a yellow hue to the paint. Under UV, this varnish has renvered most retouches largely invisible. A few retouches are visible scattered in the figures face and hand. The top right section of the panel also appears to be a later addition, as the panel would have originally been shaped to serve as the left wing of a triptych. In a carved and painted giltwood frame with scattered losses.
