The photograph is mounted to a card with tape at several places along its verso. The edges of the sheet are unevenly cut. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, most notably to the lower right quadrant. The photograph is slightly light-struck. The pigments are well-preserved and fresh. There is some lifting to the collage elements. There is some creasing and a possible tear to the upper part of the clock collage element. There is a tear in the lower right quadrant, above the tree at right, possibly inherent to the artist's process. The work is in good condition.
