The sheet is slightly timestruck and there is a small area of discoloured glue residue from a previous mounting to the centre of the lower edge (visible in the catalogue illustration). There are some pale yellow studio stains mainly to the right side of the composition and some light surface dirt in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the blacks are slightly less staurated in the original.
