Sheet size is 12 1/4 x 19 7/8 in. (30.8 x 49.5 cm). Sheet is adhered to the backing mat board around all four edges, but not in the center. There is toning of the sheet overall, and acid burn from the mat. The window mat covers the bottom 1-1/2 inches of the painting and conforms to a horizontal pencil line in the composition that runs just under the artist's signature. There are two small tack holes in the u.l.. corner. The heavy glue residue around the perimeter of the backing mat does not touch the painting.
