There appears to be a small amount of white pigment/residue visible to the black suit of one of the central figures. There is a very minor loss, only visible upon very close inspection, to the left most brown bottle within the lower half of the work. Overall the work appears to be in very good condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals no signs of restoration or repair.
