The edges and corners of the board are slightly scuffed with some associated paint loss to the upper two corners. There are some hairline surface scratches in the upper right quadrant of the recto, the longest of which is approximately 20cm., with some associated small spots of paint loss. There are further scattered spots of paint loss throughout the composition and a pinhole with associated paint loss to the lower part of the right edge. This work is in overall good condition.
