Condition

The upper and right-hand edges are irregular. There is a spot lower left, and a loss along the lower section of the left edge. A strip of modern paper is stuck on the verso (where the drawing was attached to a mount), creating a sort of step to the recto. The paper is slightly buckled. The condition is not perfect, and there are a few small spots scattered around.
