Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the mount in two points along the upper edge. The right and left edges are deckled with associated nicks and small paper losses (not visible when framed). There are pinholes at upper right and left corners. There is a small tear (approx. 0.5 cm) and a small dent towards the upper right corner. There is a V-shaped repaired tear (approx. 3 cm long) approx. 19 cm from the left edge and 28 cm from the lower edge. There are a few flattened creases in places, notably to the lower left corner. The sheet is light stained, there is mount staining along the extreme edges and there are dots of fowing in places. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
