Condition
The sheet is sound. There are some tiny pin sized holes to the sheet, one to the sitter's elbow (just left of centre) and another in the upper right quadrant. There are some minor scuff marks in places, particularly upper left, centre left and central sections with minor media losses. There is some light surface dirt and some dark staining to the sheet, particularly in the lower right quadrant and towards the upper edge. The work would benefit from light cleaning. Held in a simple wooden frame in fair condition. Under glass and unexamined out of frame.
