There are scattered spots of retouching visible under ultraviolet light, notably to the darkest area of the sky and to the centre of the lower edge and upper left corner. Apart from some scattered fine craquelure the work is in good condition, with strong tones and delicate detail. Held in a decorative, gold-painted moulded plaster and wood frame.
