The work is in excellent condition, although there is a small spot of colour in the upper right hand corner of the work in the sky which is obviously from the artist's brush and may appear to give the impression of being a stain or damage to the paper. There are further small dashes of ink above the figures in the foreground beside the tree, the colour appears to be reasonably good. The work is also contained within a somewhat faded washline mount and plain outer gilt frame behind glass. 130110
