Condition
Executed on fibrous cream wove paper, not laid down, t-hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. All four edges are slightly uneven, not visible when framed. The sheet is slightly time-stained and there is some very minor mount staining to the extreme edges. There are a few scattered creases in places, the most prominent of which is a horizontal one running along the lower edge that does not interfere with the figure's face. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
