Overall, this work appears to be in generally good condition. The work is less yellowish compared to the catalogue illustration. There are two pin-pointed holes along the right edge towards the centre and lower part. There are stable and thin craquelures inherent to the wooden support on the upper left and in a small area towards the lower right of the pigment layer. Under UV light, two tiny retouching by the edge of the bowl are visibile, as well as different inhomogeneous refractions due to the artist's choice of materials.
