L'opera è in condizioni buone e stabili ed è fissata tramite colla a un passepartout di supporto in corrispondenza dell'angolo superiore sinistro e di quelli inferiori. Il foglio è ondulato e presenta delle leggere pieghe, coerentemente con la tecnica d'esecuzione e il montaggio. Il margine superiore è irregolare. Uno strappo riparato (3 cm. circa) lungo il margine superiore verso l'angolo sinistro. Leggere tracce di sporco superficiale. Tenuto conto di quanto sopra, è nostra opinione che l'opera sia in condizioni di conservazione molto buone.
The work is in good and stable condition and is glued to the backing passepartout corresponding to the upper corner and the lower ones. The sheet undulates in places and shows some light creases, in keeping with the artist's chosen method and the mounting. The upper edge is irregular. A repaired tear (approximately 3 cm.) along the upper edge towards the left corner. Light superficial accretion in places. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
