The paint is thin in areas with a rubbed appearance overall, likely due to previous cleaning. There is some infilling visible to the background. Examined under UV light spots of retouching show to the armour in the lower left, however much of the surface is obscured by a thick layer of varnish that makes reading difficult and may mask earlier restoration.
