There is a light stain on the left of the figure and the upper edge presents two losses, these are visible in the catalogue illustration. There is a horizontal tear, restored with the lining process, from the left edge towards the center of approx. 8 cm, visible in the catalogue illustration as well. A fold mark is present on the lower edge together with a tear on the left corner.
