This work is in very good condition overall. There is scattered evidence of fine and stable craquelure visible under raking light conditions. There are scattered dirt accretions on the surface particularly in the outermost region which fluoresces darkly under ultraviolet light. There is an obtrusive pinpoint liquid accretion in the center of the middle square which fluoresces brightly under ultraviolet light. Under further ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
