Overall the paint surface has been well retained, despite having been slightly pressed in the relining process, and there is lovely detail and coloration. Under UV light: only some small inpaints to craquelure can be seen in grapes; a few very small retouches in background and retouching along a small diagonal surface scratch in sky at upper right. In a carved and gilt wood frame with minor nicks and losses.
