Condition
Executed on cream-wove paper. A few minor strips of adhesive from a previous mounting are affixed to the extreme perimeter of the verso of the sheet. The sheet is a little time-darkened with a couple small, light surface stains near the figure's face and to the bottom corners of the sheet. Two extremely minor spots of possible foxing are also present. Mat staining is visible along the bottom and extreme left edges. A crease runs horizontally at a slight diagonal angle approx. 4 inches above the bottom edge of the sheet. The work is in good condition.
