This work is in good condition overall. There are minor scattered traces of soiling and wear along edges and corners of the canvas. Visible only under close examination, two pinpoint paint losses are observed, one located 2 cm from the right and 4.5 cm from the bottom edge, the other located 0.5 cm from the right and 5 cm from the bottom edge. Very minor yellow spots are visible under close inspection, scarcely scattered on the work's surface. When examined under ultraviolet light, pinpoint spots of paint scarcely scattered along the bottom and the right edge fluoresce in a neon pink hue.
