The panel is flat and stable and appears to be made up of a single, unbeveled, vertical board. The paint surface overall is good with scattered retouching, some of which is now discoloured, beneath a dirty varnish. Inspection under UV confirms the retouching scattered here and there. The painting would benefit from a light clean and revarnish and for some of the old retouches to be reapplied. Offered unframed.
