Condition

The sheet is free floating. The left edge of the sheet is uneven. This appears to be consistent with the drawing having been removed from a sketchbook. The lower edge of the sheet has been folded approximately 6.5cm from the bottom and there is a small grid on the underside which is possible a further working by the artist. The sheet rolls and there are some associated horizontal crease. The sheet also appears to have discoloured slightly. The work is unframed. Please contact the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
