Condition
The sheet appears to be adhered in the corners to a supporting board, but is not laid down. The paper has uneven edges, which are consistent with the artist's working materials. There is a light crease in the bottom left hand corner. There is some very light studio detritus across the sheet but overall the work appears to be in very good condition.
The drawing is floated in a window mount and presented in a square profile wooden frame.
