The sheet is affixed to the mount with tape along the right vertical edge. The sheet undulates very slightly in places, but otherwise appears sound. There is some discolouration apparent towards the edges of the sheet, most apparent when viewed out of the frame, and one or two very small spots of foxing. There are some instances of studio detritus. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
The work is window mounted and presented in a simple wooden frame, held under glass.
