Condition
The panel is sound. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is a thin surface scratch to the lower left corner, approx. 1.5cm. long. Otherwise this work in overall very good condition and would benefit from a light clean.
