Purchased at the above sale by the present owner
Condition
Executed on a thick cream wove paper, laid down on board. There is a tiny paper loss to the upper left corner, a small dent to the centre of the upper left quadrant and a few minor rubbings to the edges with associated tiny medium losses. The sheet is slightly time-stained, and there is a very faint, barely visible, horizontal line across the figure's nose. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the papertone is slightly pinker in the original.
