The sheet is secured to the mount with two tabs of adhesive tape in the upper corners. The left, right and upper edges are unevenly cut. There are a number of nicks to all four edges, in particular a loss to the extreme upper left corner, and a similar loss to the lower right corner. There is some mount staining to the sheet in line with the current presentation, not visible. There are a small number of very minor instances of surface dirt and possible studio matter. This excepting the work appears to be in good overall condition. The work is window mounted and held behind glass in a simple wooden frame.
