Condition
Executed on buff-colored wove paper. The verso of the sheet bears a printed image of a girl by another hand. Artist pinholes at all four corners. The left edge is deckled. Some creases on the verso of the sheet are visible on the recto, most noticeably a vertical three-inch crease extending from bottom edge near lower right corner which has some minor associated pigment loss in the crease; the creasing is also noticeable under the artist's signature though there are not corresponding pigment losses. Half-inch tear at center of top edge. Remnants from a prior mounting along top edge on verso and notations in Italian and English on the verso. This work is in very good condition.
