Margins attached in passepartout. Partially completed in pen, as well the artist's monogram. The central fold smoothed. Above this a horizontal crease visible as far as the saint's beard. Some uneven thin areas from previous backing and removal. Even slight browning, slight rubbing and handling. Despite these issues, a good overall impression.
