Executed on cream wove paper. The sheet is T-hinged in two places along the top edge of its verso. The sheet is time-stained overall. All four edges of the sheet's verso have been reinforced with tape. There are artist pinholes in the upper left and upper right corners. There are two flattened creases measuring four and one-quarter inches in the upper right corner. There are a few nicks along the left, top and right edges. There is a three-quarter inch repaired tear along the right edge approximately six and a half inches from the top. There is a half-inch minor tear in the center of the right edge. There are remnants of adhesive and another piece of paper along the left half of the top edge, likely from a previous matting. The work is in good condition.
