There is evidence of fine craquelure in the green portion of the composition. There are scattered white accretions in the bottom left corner of the sheet. On the reverse of the sheet, the edges are taped around the whole composition. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte at the top edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
