Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, taped to the mount along the sides so that the edges of the sheet are not visible. The sheet is stretched tightly in the mount. There is a tiny protrusion to the left of the lower thumb and three minuscule spots of foxing in the upper part of the composition. There are some traces of old glue or tape on the reverse and a 3cm diagonal flattened crease running from the upper left corner. Otherwise this work appears to be in very good original condition.
