Upon close inspection, there are minor areas with pinpoint losses to the pigment and some minor surface accretions. There are several areas of hairline craquelure that appears to be stable, particularly visible in the areas with white pigment. There is a 2-inch diameter area of radial hairline craquelure in the lower right yellow area that appears to be stable. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
