Condition
Executed on cream colored laid paper laid down on card, which is in turn hinged to a mount at several places along the top edge on verso. Edges of the sheet are cut. There is a mat stain around the extreme perimeter and some scattered spots of foxing throughout. The composition is made up of two sheets, a smaller sheet joined to a larger sheet at bottom near the figure's ankles. There is a watermark running along extreme top edge and a pindot loss in the lower left quadrant well outside of the image area, otherwise fine. This work is in generally good condition.
