The paint has chipped in spots and the work exhibits some areas of hairline craquelure and rusting, which is inherent to the artist's use of found medium. Under close inspection, some glue adhesive is visible on some of the elements. A light dust has accumulated in some of the crevices. Under raking light, minor and unobtrusive light abrasions are visible.
