The panel is sound overall. UV examination reveals several scattered small retouchings, most to the sky. There is a small horizontal crack (approx. 1.5 cm in length) to the panel along the right vertical edge which corresponds to an artist's pinhole, and there is associated retouching to this area, visible under UV light. There are five further artist's pinholes along the right and left edges of the panel. This work is in overall good condition.
