The canvas has been subject to a relining. The relining process has slightly flattened the upper paint layers.
It is covered under an old varnish that has blanched slightly. The varnish carries some dirt and would benefit from cleaning.
The paint has a relatively pronounced network of craquelure. In natural light, a small area of retouching can be seen in Saint Luke's hair.
