There are small losses in the upper right corner, 1 inch thin vertical scratch on the neck of the figure, scuff near left edge at bottom, minor accretions at bottom left and bottom right quadrants. Inspection under UV reveals a thick varnish through which old retouches to fill in the paint separation is visible.
