The sheet is hinged at the upper corners to the backing board and undulates slightly. The vertical edges of the sheet are deckled. Pinholes are to the corners, presumably a vestige of the artist's process. A few small spots of craquelure, some with associated pinpoint losses, are to the lower left quadrant in black passages. Under ultraviolet light, a small spot of possible restoration is visible to the lower right corner, also faintly visible in raking light.
