This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is faintly light-struck overall, however, the colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable overall. Along all four extreme edges of the sheet, an intermittent fine line of creasing and related minor paint loss is present. Under raking light inspection, at the lower right edge of the sheet next to the woman's proper left arm, a one-inch horizontal repaired tear to the sheet becomes apparent; however, this area is stable.
