This work is in very good condition overall. There are signs of handling and wear at the bottom of the work, which is inherent to the nature of the work as a table-top piece. There is a small red accretion at the lower right, presumably inherent to the artist's working method. The varnish is uneven. There are no apparent condition issues with the work.
