Acquired from the above in 1954

The work is executed on cream colored laid paper and is hinged to a mount along the top edge of its verso. The sheet is somewhat time darkened and there is minor surface dirt, and a mat stain is visible to the perimter. There is a two-inch L-shaped repaired tear at the center of the top edge. There is a black fleck in the paper to the left of the hat brim. On the verso there is a stain from a removed strip of scotch tape. The work is in fairly good condition.
