There is an artist's pinhole in the lower left corner and another towards the centre of the upper edge. There is a tiny paper loss and some minor paper skinning to the lower right edge, a small paper loss with associated support in the lower right corner and a tiny abrasion to the upper right edge (none visible when framed).
