The painting is in good general condition. The picture surface is stable, and appears to have been cleaned fairly recently, bearing a glossy varnish layer. The panel support comprises three reasonably even, horizontally divided panels, the joins of which show through clearly. There are very few areas of loss to the main picture surface. However, there are areas of loss and abrasion around the sides of the panel, possibly due to previous framing. UV examination reveals limited areas of overpainting, especially around the upper-left quadrant of the painting, near the depicted butterfly. Please see additional images available on request.
