Condition

Artist pinholes are visible and present in each of the four corners of the paper. The sheet of paper has been laid down on a heavy support paper. Scattered, small losses to the medium are visible within the figure's head. The medium overall; however, is stable. A one-inch vertical scratch to the surface of the medium if present in the lower right quadrant--specifically running through the artist's signature. Creases to the paper are intermittently spread along the extreme edges.
