The thick paper is free floating, not adhered to a mat or support. There is evidence of wear along all four corners, with a pin-sized spot of abrasion with possible paper loss in the upper left corner. The work appears dirty. There appears to be a thin horizontal line or restoration running across the upper edge of the work, which is noticeable in plain sight. Under ultralight exam, there appears to be possible evident of inpainting in the right portion of the volcano, along the right edge.
