There is evidence of wear and losses along the edges of the work due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image as it is mostly covered by the frame itself. There is craquelure at areas of thicker impasto, with a few associated losses, most notably at the upper left corner and at leaf at upper right quadrant. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration as viewed. Framed.
