Executed on laid paper. The sheet is not laid down but is attached to the mount at points along the extreme edges, and is slightly undulating. There is a small repair in the upper left corner and a number of small repairs at the extreme lower edge: two near the centre, one near the lower right corner (with an associated small circa 0.2 by 0.5cm loss to the sheet), and two very minor ones to the right of 'ED' stamp. Apart from a few scattered small spots of foxing, this work is in good condition, with good fresh colours. Presented in a simple gilt frame, the edges of the sheet visible and not covered by the mat, under glass.
