crack in the surface of the painting running through the arm on the right-hand side, 9cm approx. One smaller line to the sky. It looks like the top right corner has a bit of staining on the surface. Surface line running from the other shoulder - this is not damage to the surface but is noticeable up close. Otherwise appears to be in good condition. The frame has some knocks and wear.
