Condition
Executed on white laid paper with a watermark running vertically 1cm from the right edge. This work is not laid down and is fixed to the backing sheet along the upper edge with artist's pinholes in the four corners. Some scattered fly spots have led to some very minor pinhole paint losses. There are some remnants of glue and cardboard on the reverse relating to a previous mount and there is one tiny hole to the lower left of figure's left foot. Otherwise this work is in very good condition.
