Laid down on a 19th century paper. Tiny foxing on the left side. Minor surface dirt. Overall good condition. Sold in an old gilt frame, (possibly 19th century). Le dessin est contrecollé sur un papier du XIXème siècle. On note de petites rousseurs d’humidité sur la partie gauche, ainsi qu’une légère pellicule de poussière, toutefois, le dessin se présente dans un état globalement satisfaisant. Le dessin est vendu dans un cadre doré ancien, probablement du XIXème siècle.
