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.
The panel appears to comprise a single oak board with vertically-oriented grain. There is beveling on all four edges, and the panel is uncradled. It is relatively in plane, and the paint is stable on the support. Under natural light, scattered losses are visible at the extreme lower edge due to frame contact. The gilding is likely redone. The varnish is clear and there are a few traces of a vertical craquelure in places. Under ultraviolet light, some areas over the text and in the upper right background fluoresce very slightly, as well as areas along the extreme edges. The head of Christ does not appear to fluoresce. The painting may be displayed as is.
