Pinholes are to the corners of each canvas. Spots of soiling are intermittently, most notably to the white passages. Fine cracking is along the extreme turning edges, with some associated lifting along the lower turning edge of the central canvas. Faint cracking is visible intermittently, primarily to the passages of heavier paint application. Minute spots of rubbing with some associated minute losses are to a few impasto peaks. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
