There are some pin holes to the extreme corners. There is some very minor craquelure in places. Otherwise in good original condition. Ultraviolet light reveals some very minor spots of fluorescent pigment in the upper left quadrant but this is likely to be intrinsic to the work. Held in asimple wooden frame in fair condition.
