The image measures approx. 9 ¼" x 7 ¼". Total size with the backing frame is 13 ¾" x 10 ½". Printed on thin but fine quality semi-gloss paper and affixed by a thin line of glue along the top edge to a thin cardboard backing inside a printed frame. The title of the painting and name of the artist are printed under the lithograph on the right. The painting depicts a scene in an operations center where Mikhail Frunze is discussing operational plans with other officers.

The lithograph is in excellent condition. There is a tiny edge rip to the left top corner of the image which was probably incurred while affixing the paper to the backing. It is very small and not too detractive. Other than that, there is no damage or wear to the image whatsoever. The lower edge of the backing shows a narrow and barely noticeable line of discoloration, probably due to exposure to light. It is about 1 mm thin and does not really impact the overall impression of the lithograph.
