The painting is in good condition overall, as is the canvas, which is clear and taut. Indication of light wear and handling is evident around the edges of the painting inherent to the framing process, but the paint layers are well-preserved. Upon close observation, a pin-sized accretion is visible on the upper left part of the canvas (next to the dark brown patch and white line), along with a gentle craquelure on the top left corner. Under ultraviolet light inspection reveals no evidence of restoration. Framed.
