This work is in good condition. There are pinhead-sized paint losses along the top left corner and the bottom edge, but not intrusive to the image. There is a horizontal line across the top and lower registers, possibly consistent with the material used. There are two small spots of accretion right of the lady holding the drum. There is also a light scratch towards the bottom edge, 35 cm from the right edge. Under UV light there is evidence of touch ups scattered along the central panel.
