Condition
Executed on one side of a brown paper bag. The sheet is hinged to the overmount at two points along the verso of the upper edge. Some faint creasing throughout, most notably in the upper left corner and towards the centre of the lower edge. The edges are slightly irregular and display tiny tears and handling creases which are not visible when framed. One tiny hole is visible in the upper right corner. There is a stain to the sheet at upper centre and another in the upper left corner. Three dark studio stains to the figure's body and another in the upper left corner are possibly inherent to the support. Some skimming to the sheet at upper centre. This work is in overall good condition.
