Card is not laid down, but is adhered by three hinges along the top edge. There is slight deckling to the extreme left edge. There are minor signs of staining and discolouration to the card, not immediately visible in the present mount. There is very light scoring to the card's surface commensurate with the artist's technique. There is further very minor scuffing to the bottom left and right corners, again, not visible in the present mount. There is a further very slight area of creasing appearing to the centre of the left and right edge, only visible upon close inspection of the work. The signature has faded, but can still be clearly read. This excepting the work appears to be in very good condition.
