There is a small pinhole in the upper left corner, thought to be inkeeping with the artist's working method. There is an old repaired tear at the centre of the upper horizontal edge. There is discolouration to the sheet and some fading to the watercolour.
The work is presented in a painted wooden frame, held under glass.
