Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached along all four edges to an overmount which conceals the extreme edges of the verso. The lower edge is deckled. The sheet is slightly timestained and some mount staining is visible to the extreme edges due to previous mounting. There is what appears to be a small repaired tear to the upper right corner and a very small tear towards the upper part of the right edge. There is some paper skinning in two places to each of the lower corners. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
