The sheet is secured to the mount with strips of adhesive tape along each edge. The right hand edge is unevenly torn, with some minor losses. There is some rounding to the extreme corners, and there are some nicks and flecks of loss to the extreme edges, not visible in the present mount. There are two Artist's pinholes in the upper left corner. There are two small tears at the upper edge. There is a small nodule in the sheet towards the centre of the left edge, this appears to be inherent to the sheet. The sheet is time stained and the colours may have faded slightly. This excepting the work appears to be in good overall condition. The sheet is window mounted and held behind glass in a simple wooden frame.
