Light surface crackelure to the portrait. The wooden frame slightly worn around the edges, with a small area of loss to the surface in the lower right hand corner as visible in the catalogue illustration. A horizontal repair to the board which runs through the top border of the calligraphic cartouche. The copper plaques have some surface oxidation.
