The colours in the printed catalogue illustrations are lighter than in the original work. The canvas is slightly loose, there are scattered cracks throughout the composition and most notably along the edges. A scratch is visible in the blue area as well as a paint loss in the orange area and near the yellow window. The surface also presents traces of glue inherent to the artist's technique.
