The canvas is lifting slightly from the board in some isolated areas, especially along the top right edge and in the center of the upper right quadrant of the work. Under UV light: nail head-sized spots of inpainting are visible along the extreme perimeter of the board, along the edges and at corners, possibly to address prior frame abrasion. Overall the work is in good condition.
