Hinged on the reverse at the upper corners to the mat backing with archival tape. Faintly mat-stained and light-stained, consistent with the work’s age. Edges lightly deckled. Artist's tack holes to the four corners and left, right and lower center edges. A few faint handling creases, primarily along the lower edge. Some rubbing of the medium in places, probably due to the artist's working process. Pinpoint accretion near the figure's jawline. On the reverse, faint transfer from another drawing. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the work is in overall very good condition.
