Craquelure overall, appears stable. Two small paint losses to l.r. corner, the larger measuring 1/8 inch and located to the right of the barrel. Subtle horizontal surface imperfection above and to the left of the figure's head, measuring 6 inches, which is due to an uneven weave in the canvas rather than any kind of damage. Surface grime.
