Executed on cream laid paper and laid down on thick paper. The upper and right edges are deckled and there is an artist's pin hole to the lower left corner, five pin holes along the upper left edge and one further pin hole to the centre of the right edge. The sheet is time stained and there are scattered spots of foxing to the sheet, most prominently along the lower and right edges. There is a very fine, flattened, diagonal crease to the upper right quadrant (approximately 10cm. long), not visually distracting. The pigments are fresh and vibrant. This work is in overall good condition.
