Georges Lepape

It has not been possible to examine the work fully unframed. Executed on cream wove paper. The sheet is slightly undulating. There is a scratch associated with paper skinning (approx. 3cm long) to the lower left quadrant. There is a vertical crease running along the right edge associated with tiny paint losses, and there are a few additional smaller creases in places. There is a minor accretion towards the model's proper right hand. There are a few small paint losses in places most predominately to the golden leaves. This work is in overall good condition.
