Condition Report:
The panel is sound. There is a thick varnish through which the UV light cannot fully penetrate but UV inspection does reveal some intermittent lines and spots of retouching to parts of all four edges. There are some fine lines of craquelure in places. The panel is very slightly bowed, and there are some nicks to parts of the extreme edges and two fine vertical cracks (approx. 1.5cm in length) to the left part of the extreme upper edge. There are some tiny gold leaf remnants to parts of the extreme left edge. This work is in overall good condition.

Condition 11 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) is not applicable to this lot.
