There is possible flattening to one or two of the impasto tips. There are one or two instances of studio detritus and surface matter, and very light surface dust. This excepting, the work appears in excellent overall condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals the aforementioned retouching at the upper corners, as well as further smaller instances to the lower corners that have been very sensitively executed.
