. Reasonably minor diagonal surface scuff/scratch running from the saints left hand cheek towards upper right hand corner. Further slightly curved scratch immediately above the standing saints head and approx. 1cm in length. There are various areas of exposed copper where the surface has been abraded and paint lost probably as a result of an over zealous surface clean. Other areas of paint remain but are thin in places. (Further images can be supplied on request if existing images are not sufficient). The worst effected areas are the saints right arm and sleeve, left hand, knife, the area between the two hands and also the lower drapery and background.
