Condition

The four edges of the sheet contain a number of small creases and minor nicks. The surface is in generally good condition aside from a light brown stain to the top left corner of the sheet, possibly due to an old hinge and another red stain in the top left quarter which appears to be a small oil stain. There is minor surface dirt throughout the sheet. The black chalk is fresh. Sold in a modern gilded frame.
