There is some discolouration, light handling marks, tiny spots of foxing and minute media accretions to the backing board. Examination out of its frame reveals a broken crease to the lower centre right of the backing board. Examination of the painted sheet reveals some light surface dirt, some media accretions, faint scuffs and some very faint drying cracks to the areas of thicker paint.
