The sheet has been laid down on paper; there is a small rip in the backing paper at the center top. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from minor scattered pigment separation and very minor losses, namely in the blacks, royal blues and red. There are also some very minor areas of flaking and associated minor loss that have been addressed in the pink at bottom.
