Condition
Executed on cream wove paper which has been hinged to a mount at two places at the top edge of its verso. All four edges are deckled. The sheet is slightly time-darkened and mat-staining is visible along the extreme perimeter, but the pencil line remains strong. An original watermark is visible on the sheet at center right and a couple studio marks (including stray blue pigment) are visible at the far right as well. Remnants of adhesive from a previous mounting are visible on the top edge of the verso. There are two minor nicks to the sheet, one at center left and one at bottom left. Otherwise in excellent condition.
