The work is in great condition overall. There's isolated areas of stable craquelure throughout. Craquelure is most prominent in 4 areas around the center of the painting extending towards center bottom, where the paint is heavily impasto. There's no corresponding paint loss associated with craquelure. There are some flakes of paint loss in the upper left corner of the painting. No signs of prior restoration under UV light inspection.
