Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the mount at two places along the upper edge. The sheet is time stained and there is further staining to the extreme edges, not visible when framed. There are two areas of discoloration, possibly due to water damage to the figure's dress in the lower register. There is a flattened crease in the upper right corner. A few minor spots of foxing, predominately to the background of the composition. This work is in overall good condition.
