Venetian School Late 17th Century

Framed. Laid down. There is a small loss to the upper left corner of the sheet, and also a small hole in the upper left, both less visible due to the backing paper. There are some small, slight vertical creases in the paper from the sheet being laid down. Some very tiny, barely visible light brown spots, and two very tiny red paint stains in the lower right quarter (which may be contemporary with the drawing). The sheet, overall however, is in very good condition, and the ink is still strong.
