This work is generally in good condition. There are minor cracks to the impasto especially along the top and left edges and the central portion of the work. There are also minor webs of craquelures, which likely arose from the artist's choice of method, most prominently in the right half of the work. Please note that the work was not examined under ultraviolet light.
