Irregular shaped, extremely thin paper adhered to a secondary sheet. Lower right corner is missing. Severely damaged overall surface with many losses, especially at left edge and lower centre. Many loose fragments unsuccessfully repaired, adhesive residue throughout. Creases towards the bottom. Many stains and foxing. An accidental splash of brown ink on the left figure. Some details probably retouched with darker tone brown ink. Image taken in backlighting suggests that the paper was split.
