This print is in generally excellent condition. There are scattered deposits of the photographer's original retouching. There is a tiny soft crease in the upper left quadrant. The upper margin edge is bumped in four areas. The sheet is gently rippled toward the right margin edge, and there is some wear in the upper left margin corner.

There is some minor soiling on the reverse.

Acquired as a gift from the artist by Avigdor Arikha
