Brown spots present on the paper (not to be confused with deliberate spotting in the centre-left figural group). There is also remnants of studio pigment elsewhere, considered to be inherent. The paper has an overall browned tint, from discolouration. There are small pressed punctures in the paper in the upper right and left corner, possibly inherent to the paper and very minute. The ink writing in the right hand side has faded.
Work is framed, in fair condition - displays marks and scratches to frame.
