Condition
The medium is oil on wood panel. The work is in good overall condition. There is some roughness to the paint surface in the left visible edge, with some very faint associated fluorescence. There are some areas of the panel which have been left bare. There is very minor surface dust. There is a triangle-shaped surface scratch in the top right, visible descending from the top edge but this appears to have been painted in and does not fluoresce under UV. There is an accretion in the center of the right visible edge. The work presents very well.
