Adèle Poissant

Laid down on paper. The sheet has been attached around its four edges to a board with some brown paper tape still evident. The upper half of the right edge has detached from the board resulting in some cockling to the sheet in the upper right corner. The sheet has also torn vertically down the right edge although this is currently covered by the mount. There is a piece of old brown tape attached to the top edge of the sheet, although this again is not visible behind the current mount. There is some discoloration to the four edges, most probably as a result of an old mount, and there are also some minor stains and light foxing in places. The main image itself remains in fine condition, with the medium fresh and vibrant.
