This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are vibrant. Under raking light inspection, isolated circular or horizontal areas of fine spiderweb craquelure measuring 1 inch or less in diameter become apparent in the right and central quadrants of the work. However, all of these areas and the media layer overall are stable.
