Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to the mount at two points along the verso of the upper edge. The sheet is lightly time-stained and there are two faint window mount stains and minor scattered specks of foxing. The right edge is unevenly cut. There is a faint stain (approx. 4cm.) to the upper left edge which corresponds to an area of thin paper abrasion on the verso of the sheet and another faint stain to the right edge, just below the centre, which are not visible when framed. This work is in good overall condition.
