EDGAR DEGAS | Groupe de quatre danseuses

Executed on buff-coloured wove paper, laid down on card. The upper, lower and right edges of the sheet are slightly unevenly cut. The left edge is covered by a thin strip of framer's tape. The sheet is slightly time-stained throughout with further light discolouration along the extreme edges. There is a small spot of paper loss in the upper left corner, as well as a tiny nick to the lower part of the right edge and a further nick to the left part of the upper edge, which are not visible when framed. There is a minor tear to the lower part of the left edge (approximately 2mm long). There are a few very fine flattened creases in places to the sheet, only visible upon close inspection. This work is in overall good condition.
