The pigments in this watercolour appear to have survived with remarkable vibrancy. At the upper right hand corner of the sky there is a repaired tear, this is only noticeable on close inspection. There are occasional foxmarks, these are very minor. At the upper left hand corner of the sheet, the paper has moved a little, to create soft and subtle waves, which has only be seen in certain lights. Overall the work is in excellent condition.
