In good condition, on cream wove paper. Hinged with tape ast the top corners. Some old tape was removed from the verso, leaving a few small areas with rough unfinished texture. The edges of the sheet are stained from an old mat and there is a thin line of lighter paper around the edges, possibly with some traces of pigment, which seems to have been an effort to repair some discoloration around the edges.
