There is some drying craquelure to the thinner areas of paint, likely a vestige of the artist's chosen media. There is a fine crack, measuring approximately 1/4 of an inch in length, with associated lifting and a tiny loss to the paint at the extreme upper right corner. There is a tiny loss to a top layer of paint at the upper right edge, measuring approximately 1/8 of an inch in length. There is minimal surface dust in the crevases of impasto. There is no apparent inpainting when viewed under UV light.
