The sheet is hinged at the upper corners and center upper edge to the backing board, and has slightly shifted in tone overall. Minor wear is to the edges and corners, and faint handling marks and small spots of discoloration are visible to the right edge. A faint graphite accretion is to the right upper edge, and three small accretions are visible to the left edge, all presumably a vestige of the artist's working process. A minute tear with associated lifting to the paper is to the right upper edge. Small, soft creases are visible occasionally, predominately to the corners. One minute spot of discoloration is to the center pink passage and a small spot of discoloration is to the right of center orange passage. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
