The sheet is undulating and there are thin mount stains along the extreme edges from previous mounting. There are areas of paint shrinkage to the yellow pigment towards the upper left corner and the red pigments where the paint is more thickly applied. There is a small tear (approx. 3mm.) to the right part of the lower edge, not visible when framed. There is a very faint spot of foxing towards the upper right corner and a few handling marks along the edges (probably studio). This work is in overall good condition.
