Condition
Executed on blue-gray paper which has been time-darkened with a .75-inch mat stain around the perimeter. The sheet has been affixed to a mount with adhesive in eight places around the perimeter of the verso and a few minor spots of adhesive remain from a previous mounting. A few scattered pindot spots of foxing are visible, one above and right of the figure's head, another above and right of the hands. Otherwise the work is in very good condition.
