Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, attached to the mount intermittently along the left, upper, and right edges, and floating in the overmount. There are artist's pinholes to each of the four corners and the left, right and upper edges are deckled. There is a tiny stain to the centre left of the figure (away from the drawing itself) and some very minor creases and handling marks in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
