Condition
Made up of two separate sheets, laid down as one on paper. The two sheets overlap slightly where the head study of a young man in profile meets the larger sheet on the right side of the composition. There is an old repaired tear to the sheet in the lower left corner and a small orange/brown stain in the centre. There are some very minor areas of surface dirt throughout and the pen and ink has faded somewhat in places.
