Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, taped to the mount such that the edges are not visible. There are flattened folds in the 4 corners and some tiny spots of foxing (2 on the woman's nose). There is a media mark and a trace of old glue on the reverse. Overall this work appears to be in very good original condition.
