Provenance
With M.R. Schweitzer Gallery, New York
Condition
Laid down on an old sheet. The sheet has discoloured somewhat, as is evident from the areas to the sheets edges, where it has previously been covered by a mount, where the sheet maintains some of its original colour. There are a number of small light brown stains to the lower half of the sheet and areas of light surface dirt throughout. The white heightening has oxidized in places, although generally the ink and wash is still fresh and the image strong. Sold in a modern giltwood frame.
