This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. The overall paper tonality is warmer compared to the catalogue illustration. The paper is yellowed along the borders, probably because of the previous frame. The yellowed trace of glue used by the artist and the folds and waving are coherent with the age of the work and with the artist's choice of media. There is a trace of fold by the upper right corner.
