The top edge of the sheet is slightly uneven and the sheet is slightly undulating along the edges. There are a few very minor tears along the left edge. The sheet has discoloured in line with age. There is some minor pigment loss in places, mostly notably to the second tree trunk on the left and to the dark red leaf in the upper right corner. There are minor spots of foxing, mostly visible outside the image borders and on the reverse. The sheet is attached to the mount in two places along the top edge. There are the remains of old adhesive along the top edge on the reverse. Held in a simple gold painted wooden frame behind glass. Unexamined out of frame.
