Condition
The work is on wove paper which has not been laid down. The sheet undulates very slightly across the surface. There are two tiny marks along the left edge where you can see where the sheet was removed from the sketchbook.
The surface is slightly dirty, and particularly along the right edge.
Held under glass and within a cream mount in a rectilinear composition frame. The verso is protected by glass and is therefore visible.
