A strip of retouching is visible to the upper margin. Inspection under ultraviolet light confirms this and further reveals small campaigns of retouching, notably in the bushes in the lower left and right margins and in the second and third figures from the right. The first in her green apron and the second in the upper half of her body. There are also scattered areas of retouching in the sky. The picture is in overall good condition.
