The canvasboard is sound. Some original pigments fluoresce under UV light but no retouching is apparent. There are small specks of loss in the areas of black pigment where bubbling has occurred, notably around the hat, and some minor shrinkage to the thickest areas of pigment in the dress and the umbrella. There is a fine surface scratch in the foliage above the umbrella and another to the right of the figure. There are a few small fly spots in the grass of the lower left quadrant and two pinholes in the upper right corner. This work is in good overall condition.
