There are some fine lines of reticulation in the lower right quadrant, towards the right hand edge: these are only visible upon close inspection. Under the paint surface there are scratches across the panel, in keeping with the Artist's working methods. This excepting the work appears to be in overall excellent condition. Inspection under ultra violet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching. The work is held behind glass in a simple, painted wooden frame.
