The canvas has been lined. The colors appear fresh and strong. A few minor horizontal lines of stable cracknig appear at upper right. There are also a few scratches and scuffs near the lower left edge where pigment may have been lost. Under UV light: there are a couple minor spots of inpainting within the green pigment at top right as well as three minor spots along the right extreme right edge. Along the extreme left edge just above center there is also a small repair 1.5 inches in diameter. Otherwise fine and the work is in overall very good condition.
