Condition
This work is in overall very good condition. Executed on buff-colored wove paper, not laid down and lined with restorer's paper along the edges which is attached to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The upper edge is very slightly deckled. There is a repaired tear to the tip of the upper right corner and the sheet is slightly time-stained, noticeable in minor color variation in places along the extreme edges (not visible when framed). The charcoal is strong and well preserved.
