For now, just to look at
The photograph we have of this work is not sharp enough to print at the quality we want, so we are not selling it for now. We are looking for a better one.

The panel's extremely elongated and narrow dimensions (30.5 x 200 cm) are so unusual that Tate describes it as a unique object in the history of iconography, comparable to looking inside a coffin.
