Condition

The catalogue illustration is very slightly dull. The drawing’s edges are glued on the support. The paper is folded in the middle because it probably comes from a sketchbook. The lower edges are slightly uneven. A minor vertical tear restored of about 1 cm is visible at the upper edge. A tiny tear of about 3 mm is visible on the right of the latter. Some pinholes are visible on the edges and very close to the edges. The colours are fresh. Very good overall condition.
