This work is in very good condition. The board is sound. The surface is richly textured and the impasto is very well preserved. A layer of slightly yellowed varnish is visible and has pooled in certain areas of the surface. Under UV light certain original pigments fluoresce and a few small strokes of possible inpainting are visible.
