The work is in good condition apart from uneven edges to the edges foamcore, likely inherent to the artist's working method, including a small tear at the top edge measuring 3/4 inch. Remains of adhesive visible on the figures, again inherent to the artist's working method. Two artist's tack holes at upper left and right.
