Stuck down on mount at four corners so can't see verso. Paper has large watermark, not legible. Creases at top right corner and edge.

Some trace of staining along all edges, as though from earlier mount. Looks like some repairs at bottom near signature and above it.

Catalogue Note
Giandomenico's studies of putti, although familiar, are always delightful in their light-hearted joyfulness.
