Faint handling marks in the margins date from the time of execution, with a diagonal linear drag of the medium extending from the image up to the paper edge in the upper left quadrant. The deckled edge paper sheet is hinged at intervals to ragboard. This work is framed in a blonde wood strip frame under plexiglas.
