Condition

The painting is in good condition, as is the board, which is free from cracking or warping. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals some minor flecks of retouching in the middle area (bottom of the chicken coop, the base of the neck and the tail of the cockerel). These retouchings are visible only under UV light. There is a small spot of paint loss on the lower left but the paint layers are otherwise intact and stable.
