Condition
Small foxing spots appear scattered on the surface. The drawing seems to have been either scratched or cleaned in the upper part of the composition, in the sky. In the upper right and left areas, small old glue stains appear. The drawing seems to have suffered from lightening. The white highlights appear whiter in some areas. Good overall condition.
