The left and lower edges are deckled with a few associated nicks. The sheet is slightly undulating. There are two vertical lines in pencil towards the right edge, possibly original (visible in the catalogue illustration). There are some scattered humidity marks throughout the composition, and some flecks of foxing in places. The sheet is light stained. This work is in overall good condition.
