The wooden construction appears fully and securely adhered. The Artist's prepared back board has a small number of very small cracks to the paint in line with the grain of the board, but all elements of the relief appear stable. There are faint scuffs to the lower right and towards the upper left of the work, with a small number of further very faint scuffs in places. There is a small spot of staining towards the tip of the left triangular element. There is some possible very faint abrasion to the lower edge of the recessed element. There are handling marks to the edges and surface dirt throughout. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is presented in a simple wooden frame.
