Condition
The board very slightly undulates (vertically) and has some light wear and loss to the corners and to scattered flecks along the edges, but is in good condition. There are a few scattered very minor flecks of retouching visible under ultraviolet light, notably to the figure's forehead, above her head and to her hair. Apart from a few very small pieces of the old frame still glued to the edges of the panel, this work is in good condition, with rich colours, and ready to hang.
