The work appears to be in overall good and stable condition. Upon close inspection, hairline cracks are visible across the surface, running vertically. These appear to be stabilised, likely through a heavy layer of varnish that has been applied. The varnish has a 'yellow' tint to it, making the work appear more aged, and evidence of the varnish is verso. Light scratches to the frame, overall size 94 x 114cm.
