There are two spots of paint loss on the upper right edge and two minor flecks of paint loss in the centre of the red element. Some fine lines of stable craquelure to some of the pastel-coloured pigments. A very minor spot of craquelure to the brown pigment on the lower left corner. This work is in overall very good condition.
