Condition report
There are three panels cracked. One to the arch of Saint Elizabeth's halo, the portrait panel of St John showing a crack under his chin through his neck from left to right and the lower right panel of his robe. These panels which cracked are intact and tight. Otherwise all in good order Provenance - Having spoken to the family it is documented in the collection archive that this panel was purchased from Ancient Lights of 196 Kensington Park Rd, London in 1980. There is only a fragment of the original receipt left as it was unfortunately eaten by the family dog!!.
