This work appears to be in very good condition overall. A small area of discoloration (measuring approximately 1/4 inch) is visible at upper right. Upon close inspection, a pinpoint loss is visible at the right upper edge. Other surface inconsistencies are apparently in keeping with the artist's chosen media and working method. There is no evidence of inpainting when examined under UV light.
