Condition
Laid down on an old mount. There are some very small losses to the lower right corner and some small light brown stains and evidence of surface dirt throughout. The iron gall ink has very fractionally sunk in places, however the red chalk and white heightening remain strong throughout. The work remains in predominantly good condition.
