Condition
Unframed. Laid down. The sheet appears to have been cut at the left and probably right edges. There are some small, isolated areas of slight discolouration in the upper centre, on the figure's cheek, and the wrist of the out-streched hand. There, however, are barely noticeable, and overall the sheet is in very good condition, the chalk still strong and fresh.
