The painting is generally in good, original condition. The picture surface is stable, with few signs of loss. There are some abrasions to the picture surface, most notably two intersecting cracks towards the centre. The painting's board support has warped slightly, and it may have moved to a small extent within its frame. The painting would generally benefit from being cleaned, which would bring out the original colours, as these have faded somewhat. There is cracking and damage to its frame. Please see additional images available on request.
