It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. Executed on cream laid paper, laid down on paper which is affixed to a thick mount, the whole sandwiched between two glasses. Upper, right and lower edges are deckled. There are a few pinholes to the centre of right and lower edges and to the upper right corner. There are a few minor tears (approx. 0.2 cm long) to the upper part of the right edge and along the lower edge. There are scattered humidity marks, consistent with medium, notably to the lower part of the composition (as visible in the catalogue illustration). This work is in overall good condition.
