There are a few scuffs with paint loss along the upper edge most likely due to frame abrasions as well as in the lower left corner. There appear to be two flattened creases in the lower left and right corners. Under ultraviolet light there appears to be a slightly opaque varnish with a few areas of possible inpainting scattered throughout the work particularly in the plate at the bottom and in the lower left corner. Overall in good condition.
