Condition
Overall good antique condition. The back mat board is missing. There is handling wear around the mat window, including a 2-inch tear to the right margin, however this does not extend into the drawing. The film glazing is intact protecting the face. Expected browning and minor handling wear on the paper due to age. Under blacklight, there are white highlights across the painting that glow. However they appear to intentionally placed by the artist rather than splashed stains. Please see photos.
