Apart from some paint lifting to the nargile and to a few small spots surrounding it, and some light frame rubbing along the extreme right edge, this work is in good condition, with rich colours and fine detail. Held in a simple, narrow, gold-painted moulded plaster and wood frame, inscribed with the artist's name.
