Condition
Solid attractive wooden gilded frame. Laid down on old backing sheet. Some light foxing throughout. A very small tear at upper part of left edge, and some small creases at upper edge as a result of sheet being lais down. A small tear at center left edge, of backing sheet also. There are some very pale grey shadows in each corner and center of right edge due to old glue on verso. Overall, however, condition is fine, and the drawing makes a very strong impression.
