Colors are bright and vibrant, with no indication of fading or noticeable discoloration.
Along the upper edge of sheet appear two handling creases with minor loss of pigment (appearing as radiating lines). There are three other areas of either cleaving or creasing to sheet, one appearing at center of composition where the ear would exist and two to gray pigment near nose and mouth. These similarly show minor radiating lines to the pigment. Small dog-ear to upper right corner away from pigment. There is minor accreted substance to perimeter of sheet from previous framing. Overall the print presents well and is in fine and stable condition. Additional images available upon request.
