This work is in very good overall condition. The panel is sound. The surface is richly textured and well conserved. There is some frame abrasion along all four edges with associated spots of paint loss that are mostly not visible when framed. There is a small loss to the surface pigment in the lower right quadrant, just below the figure's waist. Under UV light: there are two spots of retouching at the center of the lower edge and another at the lower left corner.
