This painting is in very good condition. The retouches are visible under ultraviolet light. They are applied around all four edges, entering the picture about half an inch. The retouches are very limited in the picture proper. There are none in the face of the Madonna. There are four spots of retouching in her hair beneath the halo. A few thin cracks in the face of the Child have been retouched. Some weakness in the shadow beneath his neck has been retouched. There is a spot of retouching in the calf of the Child's right leg. There are a few small spots of retouching in the neck of the figure on the left. There are a few other small retouches in the shadow beneath his helmet in his hair and forehead. The work should be hung in its current state.
