This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges, which have discolored slightly with age. There is a minor crease to the upper right corner and there is tape residue on the right lateral edge, possibly from the time of execution. Under raking light, some scattered abrasions to the gouache are visible. The sheet is hinged intermittently along the edges to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
