Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, taped to the overmount along all four sides. There is a pin-sized hole to the upper left corner and the sheet is slightly timestained. There are a few minute paint losses to the yellow and red pigments. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall brighter in the original.
