Condition
Examined under glass in the frame. Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, fixed intermittently by tape along the upper right edge. The right edge is deckled. The verso is visible in the frame. The sheet is slightly time-stained and there is some studio dirt towards the right of the base of the figure. There are a few scattered foxing marks and the extreme upper two corners are slightly discoloured. Otherwise, this work is in an overall very good condition.
