Good condition. Laid down on canvas. The pigment is very thickly applied with a rich surface. There are thin cracks visible in the green pigment on the left and in a few minor spots in the black pigments, mostly near the lower edge. Slight bloom on the varnish appears in the black pigment above the figure's forehead. Surface is overall very well preserved.
