This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. Colours are warmer than in the catalogue illustration. The canvas is slighty wavy by the upper left corner. There are minor areas of threadlike craquelures, one horizontal upwards right, two minor others upwards left, two minor by the lower margin on the torso and few other traces by the right eye. There is a minor trace of marginal loss by the centre of left margin and two other traces of losses on the lower edge by left corner. Light traces of wearing along the edges and by the four corners.
