Condition Report:
The painting has been tightly relined and the paint surface is slightly pressed as a result. The surface is clean and the painting is presentable. The paint surface overall has been very well retained and detail is very good throughout. Examination under UV light reveals scattered very small retouches evenly distributed. There are larger areas of retouching in the background at upper right and left, and an area under Christ's legs in the white drapery over what may have been a compound tear. Another area of retouching runs horizontally through Christ's lower legs over to the right edge. These restorations have been well applied and there is no need for further work. Offered in a carved and gilt wood frame with minor nicks at the edges.
