Lillian Browse, Degas Dancers, London, 1949, no. 157a, illustrated n.p.

Executed on buff coloured card, which is glued to a board around all four edges on the reverse. The card is slightly undulating throughout. There are some small air bubbles visible in the sheet at all four corners, and the sheet is slightly time darkened. There is a 1cm wide mount stain around the four edges and some scattered artist's pinholes are visible. There are a number of surface stains and scuffs, all of which are minor, throughout the sheet. Overall, this work is in fairly good condition.
