Condition
In fairly good condition. Surface of sheet has darkened with time--a small amount of soiling to surface: a few scattered light stains; a few tears along the edges, the largest at upper right corner and goes down about two inches, and three vertical tears along the lower edge. The edges and the tears have been reinforced on the reverse. The figure is quite lively. An old hand-written label is affixed to the backing and is inscribed as follows: Portrait of "Ernesta Drinker, niece of Cecilia Beaux". Sheet is hinged to backing with pieces of white tape along the upper edge verso.
