Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

The panel is sound. UV examination reveals no signs of retouching. All four extreme edges present some irregularities, most probably inherent to the priming of the panel. There is a small chip to the upper right corner, with some associated medium loss, below which there is a further spot of medium loss, approximately 5mm. There is a further small chip to the lower part of the extreme left edge. Otherwise this work is in very good overall condition.
