Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. This work is recto verso. The sheet is fixed in the mount along the upper edge. The left edge is slightly irregular, consistent with its extraction from a sketch book. There are small remnants of tape along the lower edge and in the four corners of the verso. Apart from a tiny flattened crease in the lower right corner and some light time-staining this work is in very good original condition.
