Condition
The drawing is on very thin, fragile paper. The double-window mount should not be opened except by a trained paper conservator. The work has been very tightly stretch-mounted which has resulted in tears to the top right and lower corners. Buyers should consult a paper conservator for advice about treatment. Please consult the department for additional information.
