The left edge is irregular with its upper two thirds trimmed (not visible framed or in the catalogue illustration). There is a darker line along the right extreme edge (just visible in the present frame) related to a former mat. Apart from some very light surface dirt, this work is in good condition with fresh colours.
Presented in a simple gilt frame, the edges of the sheet covered by the mat and not visible, under glass.
