This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of two pinholes 45 cm from the left edge and 60 cm from the bottom edge of the work; a pinhole and a label-like bulge beneath the paint at the lower left corner of the work, only visible under close examination, presumably inherent to the artist's working method. There is light dust across the surface of the work.
