Condition Report: Fine, harmonious overall appearance. The colours fresh. At the top, a stip of paper of 12,4 x 67,7 cm firmly attached by the artist; the joining edge slightly visible on the front. The sheet edges without losses. The lower edge in the centre and the upper right edge, each with a minuscule tear (up to 0,4 cm). The paper slightly wavy in the margins due to the artist's technique, and overall lightly creased. At the height of the figure’s left knee, a hairline crease mark (0,8 cm) with paint loss. A vertical crease (8 cm) running parallel to the right-hand edge at the top. Above the figure’s left eyelid horizontal, a horizontal shrinkage tear (2 cm). Along the edges, several minuscule mounting holes and pressure marks or rust stains from staples and thumbtacks. On the reverse, the paper spotty due to the artist's technique and with isolated traces from the artist's workshop
