Condition
The image is drawn on a sheet of paper with large blank margins and slightly irregular edges. The paper is slightly yellowed and there is staining around the drawing from a previous mat. There is a light gray stain on upper right hand corner of about 9 cm and a very small tear on left hand corner of 0.5cm in lenghth. There are three tiny stains on upper left hand quadrant. The work is titled in pencil on the reverse. The work is in stable condition and would probably benefit from a light cleaning.
