The paint layers are beautifully preserved, as can be seen in the vibrant palette and unbroken modeling, notwithstanding scattered, small paint losses that have not been restored. These observable losses are found around the perimeters of the figures, where the paint overlaps the gold ground, with the greatest concentration in the angels hovering at the extreme top of the panel. Minor retouching was carried out to address a few small losses near the bottom of Mary’s blue mantle, at the base of the cross, and in St. John’s feet. Newer gilding addresses scratches and wear in the background. The varnish is evenly glossy and free of discoloration. Remnants of a gesso coating are found on the reverse of the panel; this coating, as well as areas of revealed wood, has been painted a dark blackish-brown.While this painting may be displayed in its current state, restoring the eye-catching losses would help accentuate the strength of the picture."In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report.
