Condition
This work is in fairly good condition. Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on card. The edges are slightly irregular. The sheet is lightly discolored. There are a few surface scratches to the sheet in the upper quadrants, toward upper left and right corners and to the right of the face which have resulted in some pigment loss. Otherwise, fine.
