Additional Notes & Condition Report
Frame rubbing, with particular wear along the upper right and bottom edge. Several 1/2'' gouges on the panel's reverse along the edges. Panel is slightly warped. Light surface dirt. Varnish layer inhibits detection of some restoration under UV light, though some older areas are visible in the child's face, his right shoulder, in the background around his head and along the upper right edge.
