This work is in very good condition. Executed on cream wove paper. Hinged at 2 places to a mount at the upper left and right corners. There is a very small tear measuring approximately 1/4 inch extending from the upper right edge. The left edge of the sheet is perforated, as evidence of being taken from a sketchbook. The sheet is slightly time darkened overall. The pencil and pastel remain bright and fresh.
