There is a 2cm. tear to the upper left edge and a 1cm. tear to the upper right edge. There are two large creases to the centre right of the work, probably intrinsic to the nature of the support. Apart from some faint spots of foxing, particularly to the lower left corner, this work is in good condition.
Colours: The paper tone is lighter and the colours more vibrant in the original.
