Notes on Material


Comments on Condition
There is a hole and some loss on the left edge, as well as a very small hole on the right edge. The horizontal striations of the board seem to be inherent to the support with one small area to the right of the veiled woman's head which is slightly more pronounced. The frame was made for the panel and is fixed to the face of the board.
