Very fine craquelure is present at the lower center and on the green squares located closest to the right center edge. Ultra violet light examination revealed small touch ups of in-painting along the edges of the purple square located on the center of the composition and minor touch ups of in-painting on the three purple squares located in the lower right quadrant. Otherwise in very good condition, ready to hang.
