Aquarelle, gouache et graphite sur papier. Le revers de la feuille est maintenu par des charnières à deux endroits le long du bord supérieur sur un support. Brunissement de la feuille du au montage le long des bords. Légère insolation de la feuille avec une ou deux piqûres par endroits. Une déchirure horizontale réparée au coin supérieur droit (approx. 2 cm.) et de rares autres plus petites déchirures réparées le long des bords gauche et supérieur. Le centre du bord supérieur a été restauré avec soin. Une pliure diagonale aplatie au coin inférieur gauche et quelques très rares et légères froissures de manipulation par endroit le long des bords. Le médium est très vif et frais sur l’ensemble de la composition. Souss réserve de ce qui précède et selon notre opinion cette œuvre apparaît en bonne condition générale.

Some pale light staining with one or two spots of foxing in places. One horizontal repaired tear at the upper right corner (approx. 2 cm.) and a few smaller further ones along the left and upper edges. The centre of the upper edge has been skillfully restored.
