Condition
The plaque is in good overall condition with just a few typical fine cracks which do not detract from the print. These are mainly to the left of the figure, two running in from the mount and terminating in the folds of drapery beside the Christ child, two more further down of similar length. There is a single fine crack running from the mount to a point on the shoulder of the saint. All the cracks are difficult to see with the naked eye. There are a few typical fine cracks to the reverse. The gilding on the frame is bright and the frame is in good condition.
