Executed on paper mounted on cardboard. The cardboard has been mounted to a card mount with adhesive at the corners of its verso. There are a couple minor creases and nicks to the extreme upper left and bottom left corners as well as a repaired tear toward the upper right of the sheet, likely inherent and from the time of execution. Some minor scuffs to the outer perimeter. The colors are bright and fresh. Overall the work is in very good condition.
