No evidence of retouch. Dark brown pigment shows up more pronounced than the other pigment under u.v. light, but appears original. There is surface grime, with spotting to the right center. There is a small area, center left, measuring about 1/2 inch square, with uneven paint application and with a few small losses that are visible with a magnifying glass.
