Condition Report:
The panel is flat, even and ensuring a stable support. There are two horizontal batons along the upper and lower edges respectively.
There is a vertical, circa 5cm crack running from the top edge, in the upper left quadrant. However, this is only visible on the reverse.
Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals a thick and even layer of residual varnish which makes the surface quite difficult to read. With the exception of some strengthening in the dark pigments of the entrance, there is no visible sign of retouching.
This work is in good condition and is ready to hang.
Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
Provenance:
H. Thompson
Purchased by the present owner in the 1980s
