The sheet is hinged to its backing board at two points along the upper edge, verso. An artist pinhole to the upper center edge. The upper edge is cut unevenly. Two repaired tears to the upper left corner (the first measuring 1 cm and the other measuring 5.5 cm). A couple of tiny spots of foxing. Subject to the foregoing, it is in our opinion that the work appears to be in very good condition.
