The panel is sound. The impasto has been well preserved. The pigments are rich and vibrant. Minor frame abrasion is visible at the extreme corners. The white pigments appear slightly dirty. A couple minor surface scratches are visible, including a quarter-inch scratch in the black pigment toward the far right and another one toward the far left. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce and a few scattered spots of inpainting are visible, primarily toward the extreme outer edges. Overall the work is in very good condition.
