Condition
Panel is sound and the surface is well-preserved. Under UV: there is a layer of varnish that is difficult to read through, but scattered spots of faint florescence indicate some old retouching, mostly in the background and including a thin 2-inch line running vertically through the figure's cheek. This work is in good condition.
