Light networks of craquelure in places, most apparent example in the lower left quadrant. These appear stable.

Two small white paint marks and various minor grey marks scattered around the blue background, the latter is only visible on very close inspection. There is a cluster of black paint marks to the yellow diagonal wave, likely inherent. Minor loss to the upper right corner.
Inspection under UV light revealed no clear signs of restoration or repair.
