Condition

Laid down on mat and glued into the window mat, it is not possible to see the edges of the work as a result. A tiny nick to the pigment in the man's trouser leg is the only surface problem which is visible.The pastel and charcoal are incredibly fresh and the work looks wonderful in its present state.
