Condition

STRUCTURE The sheet is flat and there are no signs of cockling. The sheet appears to have been crumpled in the past and flattened - therefore there are signs of creasing and tearing to the sheet consistent with this (visible in the illustration). The sheet bears signs of staining and foxing. The picture would benefit from being cleaned. FRAME The drawing is contained in a simple wooden frame and under glass with a clean mount.
