The painting is in overall good condition. Ultraviolet examination does not reveal any areas of inpainting or restoration. While some pigments fluoresce, they appear to be the artist's original pigments and varnish. Craquelure scattered throughout work, mainly in the lighter colored pigments. Frame in very good condition, with some minor chipping along outer edge.
