Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount intermittently along all four edges and floating in its mount. The verso is also visible in the double sided frame. The left edge is deckled and the sheet is gently undulating. There are some minor handling marks along the lower edge. This work appears to be in overall very good condition.
