The sheet is laid down onto a backing board.

There is some time staining to the edges of the sheet consistent with the mount, not visible in the present mount. There are one or two very minor accretions. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is window mounted and held behind glass in a painted wooden frame.
