Condition
In good general condition. The sheet is slightly time stained overall, and is laid down onto another sheet. The charcoal is very strong, with white highlights and traces of pink pastel in her right leg, arm and cheek. There are numerous fibers in the sheet which may be slightly more darkened than they originally appeared, and the blue tone of the paper is now slightly faded. Otherwise fine.
