Executed on cream card, not laid down and attached to its mount in two places along the upper edge. There are small artist's pinholes visible along the edges of the sheet and to all four corners. There is a Watermark visible in the lower right corner of the sheet. The sheet is slightly undulating, likely due to the artist's application of medium. This work is in overall very good condition.
