Condition
Pastel is executed on thick grey wove paper that is stretched around a canvas. The paper is not laid down, but it may be adhered to canvas along the stretched edges. There is a slight undulation to the sheet and a faint hairline horizontal scratch in the upper right quadrant. There is minor rubbing to the pigment at the extreme edges, not visible when framed. The work's old backing board was not fully removed for examination.
