Condition
Overall the work is in very good condition and the panel is sound. The surface is covered with a layer of varnish which has yellowed to the extreme outer edges. There are three very small areas of paint loss along the top edge. Under UV light: there are areas of inpainting intermittent along the extreme outer edges, notably along the top edge and the upper right and upper left edges. These spots of retouching most likely address past frame abrasion.
