This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. The surface is dusty. There is thin and stable craquelures towards the central lower and upper right areas. There are two pin-pointed traces of dirt along the center and to the left of the upper margin. There are three shallow scratches along the lower left edge and towards the center of the lower edge and to the center of the right edge, visible in the catalogue illustration. No traces of retouching appear to be visible under UV light.
