Condition Report*: The work is wax lined.  There appears to be evidence of frame abrasion scattered along the extreme edges, commensurate with age.  There appear to be a handful of small pin-sized dots of inpainting in the upper third of the work, all within the white background.  There appears to be a small spot of inpaint in the black pigment above the drummer's eyes.
