Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, t-hinged to the mount at the upper two corners and floating in the mount. There are some very light creases to the sheet, mainly towards the right half. The sheet is time-stained and there is some discolouration due to previuos tape marks on the verso visible at the upper edge. There is a pin hole to the upper left corner, a small tear towards the upper right corner and a few small repaired tears to the left, lower and right extreme edges of the sheet. There is some minor paint loss mainly to the white pigment surrounding the head of the boy. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
