Condition
The drawing is in excellent condition. The work is executed on cream wove paper. The sheet has been mounted to a mat and the edges and reverse of the sheet are not accessible. It is not clear if the work has been laid down or not. There is very minor foxing along the middle of the right edge. There is some very light mat staining to extreme periphery of the edges of the sheet.
