Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The sheet is slightly time stained and there are minor, scattered spots of foxing, predominantly to the lower right quadrant. The sheet is gently undulating and there are some flattened paper creases visible in places, notably to the left of the model's hair as well as a vertical crease across the sitter's hair (approximately 9cm. long). There is some minor rubbing to all four corners and there is a small spot of discoloration to the left of the model's head. There is a small pin hole to the upper part of the left edge which has torn to the edge. This work is in overall good condition.
