Executed on white wove paper, laid down on a sheet of restorer's paper, t-hinged to the mount at the upper two corners, and floating in the overmount. There are a few spots of rust towards the upper left and upper right edges. There are repaired tears in places running along the upper edge, the longest of which measures 7cm above the uppermost figure on the right, and a futher few to the left edge, some of which present some associated paper loss. The sheet is very lightly undulating in places, most probably due to the repairing process. Otherwise this work is in fairly good condition.
