There is a milky varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, and examination under UV reveals some spots of retouching to the head of the male figure and in a few places along his costume and some possible spots to the extreme right and lower edges. There is some frame rubbing visible to the corners, along the upper and lower edges edges and the lower part of the right edge. This work is in overall good condition.
