The canvas has been wax lined. There are some scattered lines of craquelure in the background in the upper left quadrant. There is some frame abrasion, most notably to the bottom and right edges. The impasto is well preserved, and the colors are bright. Under UV light, there are some minor strokes of inpainting along the top edge to address frame abrasion. The work is in good condition.
