Condition
- Overall in good condition, except for some restorations.
- The upper part of the paper was added by the artist himself in order to complete the composition, which is revealed by the horizontal conjunction line as seen on the illustration.
- One patch of paper restoration can be found at the right bottom corner.
- The illustrated paper tone appear to be too greenish than that of the actual piece.
