The work is in a stable condition, although some crazing of the surface is visible. Light surface scratches can be seen in several areas of the artwork.
The is a small hole in the lower left of the board, although the pigment is atop so this is likely inherent. There are some brown spots to the surface mostly in the lower right. When looked at under UV light, the painting shows evidence of previous repair.
The frame has some losses and scratches but likely original. Overall size is 72 x 95cm
