Condition
The edges of the paper are deckled and the paper is slightly rippled—inherent to the artist's use of medium. There is tape and glue residue around the edges of the paper when seen from the reverse. There is a red mark on the nose and cheek of the man, which appears to be inherent and by the hand of the artist. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
