Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, affixed along all four edges to a wove conservation sheet, the sheet has slightly yellowed due to the mounting. There are some dots of foxing in places and some minor repaired tears (approx. 0,5 cm long) to the signature. There are a few creases in places, notably to the lower right quadrant. There is a possible repaired pinhole towards the centre of the lower edge. The sheet is slightly light stained. There are a few paper remnants to the reverse of the sheet. A study of a seascape was executed on the reverse of the sheet. The work is in overall good condition.
