The work is on wove paper which has been laid down on to board. There are artist's pinholes in all four corners. These pinholes are up to 2mm wide in some instances. There are a few tiny abrasions to the left edge of the sheet, and two tiny abrasions to the upper edge. There is slight staining to the very edges of the sheet caused by the placement of the mount.
There are two marks visible in the upper left corner of the sheet which appear to be smudged although this may have been the intention of the artist.
Presented behind glass in a cream mount within a simple frame.
