Condition Report:
The panel is flat, even, and ensuring a stable support.
The paint surface is clean. There is a pattern of hairline craquelure throughout; however, this is stable and not distracting to the naked eye.
Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals vestiges of old residual varnish and no sign of restoration.
This work is in good condition and is ready to hang.
