This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. There are few traces of light craquelure toward the centre and toward the lower part of the left margin, along the edge of the lower margin with three consequent punctiform paint losses, by the lower right corner with consequent micro paint losses, toward the right upper margin and toward the centre of the upper margin. Under the UV light are visible few retouching along the margins, few punctiforms by the lower right corner, few in the central and in the lower part of the light pigment on the right and three in the centre of the light pigment on the left.
