The etching is a work on paper, framed under glazing- not examined external to the frame. The sheet has some general ageing (yellowing) of the paper comensurate with age. There is evidence for some sparsly distributed, faint spots of foxing in the margins and signs of faint discolouration in the top right corner- the print may well have been cleaned.
