Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on canvas. The sheet is slightly time-stained and there is some discolouration surrounding the dark brown crayon. There is a very gentle undulation to the two lower corners. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the paper tone is warmer in the original.
