Condition
Laid down with window mount covering edges of the sheet. The sheet has suffered somewhat with a number of areas of abrasion visible (surface of the paper has abraded and there are losses to the drawing). This is more prominent in the lower right section of the sheet and along the left section of the sheet. There are two small brown stains located under the arch on the left. The pen and ink and wash remains fairly strong despite these condition issues.
