Executed on blue-colored laid paper which has been laid down to a supporting sheet. The sheet is mounted to a board at multiple places along the bottom, left and top edge. The left edge of the sheet has been unevenly cut. There are several artist's pinholes in the upper left and upper right corners. The original blue color of the paper is faded, as is typical with Degas works on paper. The sheet is slightly dirty and lightly discolored along the edges. The original blue color has likely faded. There is a two inch flattened crease in the upper left corner. There is a small loss to the lower right corner. There are some remnants of an adhesive along the top edge. The work is in good condition.
