Condition report
There is a vertical split to the panel, left of centre and a few flecks of associated paint loss; some further traces of craquelure but this is stable; ultraviolet reveals areas of infilling to craquelure in the sky, to Christ's body, strengthening to the horse, lower right and figure's robes, lower left; further retouchings to frame abrasions.
