Condition
The work is in very good condition. Executed on buff-colored wove paper. The left edge of the sheet is deckled and the other three are cut. The sheet is T-hinged to a mount at two places along the upper edge of its verso. There are some handling creases along the lower edge. There is a crease in the upper right hand corner of the sheet. There is a minor tear to the sheet along the upper right edge and another minor tear along the lower half of the left edge. The sheet is slightly rubbed near the sitter's eyes, possibly inherent to the artist's technique. The medium is strong and well-preserved.
