The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

As is visible in the image, there is a vertical split through the panel from the top to the Virgin's hand near the bottom of the panel. This split has affected the contours of the panel and has been given temporary support on the reverse by the application of six wood dowels that are glued on. There were two horizontal bars giving additional support to the panel on the reverse, the upper bar has been removed possibly to avoid atagonising this split. Please consult a conservator to understand how to consolidate this damage. With signs of old woodworn to the reverse. Losses to the panel at the left corners and to an section on the lower border below Christ's left foot and with a repaired damage to the upper right corner that has also slightly affected the contours of the panel. With infill to the craquelure in areas. Examination in natural light suggests old flecks of discoloured retouchings throughout; inspection under ultra violet fluorescence confirms these. Despite this, the high quality of the artist's modelling and strong colouring is still highly appreciable.
