Condition

This work is generally in good condition. Under very close examination, there are several pinpoint paint losses around the edges with the more obvious one on the left ear tip, which measures 0.4 cm at its longest length. Multiple series of craquelures can be seen on the surface especially on the red moon, on the darker areas, and around the mouth of the cow. Having examined the work under ultraviolet light, there appears to be no evidence of restoration.
