Condition
This work appears in very good condition overall. There is a ½ inch hard crease located at the right corner of the drawing presumably inherent to the sheet, the top half of the lateral face of the frame is heavily abraded with scattered nicks to the edges which are all presumably inherent to the artist's working method. There is a slight variation in the tonality of the frame with two faint darker spots along the bottom edge of the frame.
