Condition
The medium is pencil, brown ink and sanquine on heavy paper mounted on paperboard. The sheet is entirely laid down, and is varnished. There are pinholes in both right corners. There is a disturbance about 1/2 in. long to the surface in the lower center, in the figure's neck, which is rough to the touch and visible to the naked eye. It fluorescences under UV and may be some inpainting. There is some very minor frame abrasion along the edges. The board is slightly warped at top and bottom.
