Condition
Laid down on old mount, unframed. A small horizontal tear at center lower edge. Two small light brown stains to lower right of the one, and very small brown stains across Esther's chest. A horizontal fault in the paper across top, and a tiny hole with a little discoloration just below it, at the center. Two less noticeable horizontal faults across lower part. Overall, however, the condition is good and the chalk very strong and fresh.
