It is not possible given the current mount to examine the extremities of the sheet and the measurements provided are sight size. The drawing appears to have been laid down with some very slight discoloration to the sheet. There is a small stain to the upper left corner and some other minor studio(?) staining to the upper right corner. The pen and ink medium remains reasonably strong throughout. Sold in a giltwood frame.
