Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the overmount at two places on the upper edge. The sheet appears to have been taken from a sketchbook, so the left edge is slightly unevenly torn, and the upper and lower corners of the right edge are slightly rounded. This work is in overall very good condition.
