Faint stretcher bar impressions are to the edges. A thin band of discoloration is to the edges of the innermost green passage, presumably a vestige of the artist's process. A few minute drip accretions are to the lower quadrants of the black passage, visible both in raking and under ultraviolet light. Several pinpoint spots of discoloration are visible occasionally throughout, mostly visible in raking light. A few hairline cracks with a small associated area of possible restoration are above center, visible both in raking and under ultraviolet light.
