The painting is in good overall condition. It appears to be un-lined and is on its original stretcher. The picture surface is stable and there is minimal craquelure. Some slight undulation to the canvas below the glazing. Extensive wear and loss to the frame; the painting would benefit from being reframed. Overall, though, the painting is in good, original condition, with the colours fresh, clear and vivid.
