Inconsistencies to the upper edge of the panel, inherent to the support. Light frame rubbing to the left edge. A small surface accretion near the lower left edge. A few minute accretions to the sky. Examination under Ultra-Violet light reveals: no apparent signs of retouching or inpainting. Subject to the foregoing, it is in our opinion that the work appears to be in excellent condition.
