The painted surface seems to be in a good condition and is covered with a dirty and discolored varnish layer. A dense craquelure pattern can be observed. The two joins are rather visible on the front. Most colours seem to be nicely preserved with some minor thinness throughout. Some small repaired indents and surface scratches can be seen, especially in the sky area.
