This work appears to be in generally good overall conditions. The canvas is slightly wavy. There is a light impression of the stretcher along the borders. There are some traces of stable and threadlike craquelures along the upper border by the white pigment and along the lower left border. There is a little superficial scratch towards the lower left border. No traces of retouching appear to be under UV light.
