Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to the mount at various points along the verso of the perimeter and is floating in its mount. The edges of the sheet are slightly uneven and deckled with minor handling marks and creases. There is an artist's pinhole in each of the upper corners. The sheet is lightly time-stained with a few scattered spots of foxing. There are a few small tears to the right and lower edges and some gentle creasing in the lower right, lower left and upper left corners which is not visually distracting. This work is in overall very good condition.
