Unexamined out of glazed frame. The sheet presents acidic staining, likely caused by previous and possibly current housing, most noticeably to the upper and right edges. Some slight discolouration to the sheet overall, especially to the more fugitive pigments. A pinhole is present to the centre of the left edge. Small scattered protrusions and foxing. Some small white spots are present, possibly where fox marks have been treated or removed. A small crack is present to some thicker pigments in the clouds to the centre of the sky.
