This work in fair condition. In the central area, which features thick impasto oil paint, there are numerous areas of old surface cracks, which have resulted in areas / patches of loss and lifting paint. These areas are difficult discern and are only visually distracting on close inspection. The work would benefit from some conservation to stabilise these areas. There is no evidence of past restoration.
