Condition
Hinge mounted to an old sheet of paper which has in turn been hinged to a modern mount. The sheet has very slightly discolored as is evident by the unblemished four edges. There are a number of tears and small losses to the upper and lower edges due to the way in which the sheet has been hinged. The black chalk medium is still reasonably strong throughout this large and impressive sheet. Sold in a giltwood frame.
