This photograph, on Agfa paper with thin margins, is in generally excellent condition. When viewed in raking light, the following can be seen: some small, scattered deposits of original retouching; a faint linear raised area on the figure's back; and a soft handling crease in the upper right quadrant. The margin edges are gently worn and the upper right margin corner is creased.

The reverse is faintly soiled. The artist's address stamp reads: '1 Berlin 12 / Carmerstrasse 19.' The Galerie Springer Berlin stamp reads: 'Fasanenstrasse 13 - 1000 Berlin 12.' Sold framed.
