Condition

The drawing is in overall good condition. It should be mentionned that the liquid glue applied to the back of the drawing in his previous mount, divided into six points (ie the four corners and the center of the lateral margins) has impregnated paper and, over time, appears to be six small spots, visible from the front of the drawing. There is also a small number of very small light spots, probably due to dirty water, one of which is located on the head of Triton (on his mustache) . The reading of the work is by no means shy.
