The paper has worm through in one very small area towards the upper left corner with one or two flecks of wear elsewhere. There are creases to the upper third of the work with some further more minor creases elsewhere. There is a faint vertical scratch roughly 8cm. to the centre of the women's torso. There is a small tear to the card on the verso at the extreme right edge. There is some probable time staining to the sheet and light fading to the pen, in keeping with the work's age.
