Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There are scattered light surface accretions and faint handling marks visible along the top edge. There is evidence of foxing in the figure's face. The sheet is hinged verso along the top and lateral edges to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
