Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at two points along the top edge. There are numerous artist's pinholes at intervals running round the edge of the work. There is a 4cm. repaired tear running across the lower left corner, and a small repaired tear just above it on the lower left edge. There is a 5cm. flattened crease running down from the upper right corner. There is glue residue from previous mounting at three points along the top edge and at two points to the bottom edge.
