There are a few areas of retouchings, the most prominent of which are to the left dancer, along the upper edge, towards the centre of the lower edge, to the right dancer and in the pink area towards the lower right corner. There are 2 minor paint losses towards the lower centre. Otherwise, this work is in overall fairly good condition.
