Condition

A difference of color appears on the upper border, due to the artist (perhaps wash), and is visible in the catalogue. The paper is slightly insolated : the watercolor highlights have slightly faded. The paper has wrikled a little bit. The visual in the catalogue is quite faithful to the drawing, except that it is slightly clearer than the drawing really is. Small minor dots are scattered on the surface.
