Condition
The following condition report was kindly provided by Alvarez Conservation Services: This charcoal drawing on paper is in good condition overall. The paper is adhered to the top acidic mat with masking tape around all four verso edges. The paper does not present tears, paper losses, or distortions. Four sections of paper and adhesive residue are present on all four verso corners. The paper is mildly oxidized from contact with acidic material and a natural process of aging due to light exposure. This is visible throughout the sheet. Otherwise the medium appears to be well preserved.
A full treatment report from Alvarez Conservation Services is available upon request.
