Condition

The colours have remained fresh and clear. To the left of the tower there are two small areas where the white pigment has changed (visible in the illustration). This has perhaps been caused by oxidisation. There is a small tear at the upper edge of the sheet, this measures 1.5 cm. Overall the work has remained in good condition.
