Condition
The sheet appears sound. The sheet has been affixed with tabs to a backing card, which in turn has been affixed to the Artist's prepared board. The sheet is unevenly cut in keeping with the Artist's technique. The sheet undulates very slightly in places and there are one or two possible very light creases or handling marks apparent in the lower right corner. There are some very tiny, scattered spots of foxing to the sheet, most apparent around the edges of the sheet. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition, with strong fresh pencil.
The work is presented in a simple wooden frame, held under glass.
