There is some slight unevenness in the paint surface at the center of the lower edge and in the upper right quadrant. Subject to the above the work appears in overall excellent condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals one or two instances of fluorescence, in keeping with the artist's technique and medium. The work is presented in a simple wooden frame.
