Canvas is indented at upper left and upper right corner, as well as sporadically along edges, with slight stretcher bar impressions. Grime and soiling throughout, most apparent in white pigment. A loss at center exposing canvas weave, with associated small cracks. Scattered craquelure at upper left, center left, lower center. Areas at upper right and upper left, and some areas along edges within black pigment fluoresce under UV inspection.
