Condition
In fairly good condition. The sheet is laid down on card which is darkened. The card is in turn mounted on a stretcher. The sheet was unevenly laid down on the card, and now has some lifting along the sides. A thin 2 inch scrape to the pastel, upper center. The stretcher is taped to the glass, so the front surface of the work could not be examined outside of the glass.
