Condition

This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. There are minor and unobtrusive traces of stable craquelures towards the center of the artwork, towards the center of the left margin and very thin ones due to the drying of the pigment by the black and red areas. There is a pin-pointed loss by the lower left corner. Under UV light are visible lighter halos by the lower left corner and towards the center.
