Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, t-hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The upper edge is very slightly unevenly cut. There is some very minor mount staining to the extreme edges, not visible when framed. There are a few minor spots of foxing in places and a 4cm-long crease across the figure's proper left arm. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
