This painting is in very good condition.
The oak panel has been restored and is in stable condition. There are two horizontal joins extending the entire width of the panel that have been reinforced with dovetail inserts on the reverse. There is a small repair to the panel at the top right corner that is visible when the painting is viewed from the back.
The paint layer is clean and stable. A thin line of retouching that corresponds with the two major horizontal joins in the panel is visible under inspection with ultraviolet light. There is a 6-inch line of retouching located 1 inch from the bottom left edge and a slight diagonal retouch continuing to the center of the bottom edge. There is a 12-inch thin line of retouching in the top right edge continuing in a slight diagonal to the center of the top edge. There are small retouches within the shadows of the pheasant; in the dark shadows of the pewter plates; and in the white tablecloth. There are several small dots of retouching throughout the thinly painted background and small retouches in all four corners of the painting. The many small, well-executed restorations are still quite effective.
