The picture generally presents well. The colours are fresh and well preserved. There are a few small areas of spotting to the picture surface, as well as a few areas of dirt trapped beneath the glazing. A small surface abrasion is present towards the centre of the depicted guitar, and another indentation is present around the depicted woman's right arm. Separately from this, the drawing is fundamentally in good condition and ready to hang. Please see additional images available on request.
