Condition: Removed from frame, actual work measures: 18 3/4 x 24 1/4 inches (47.6 x 61.6 cm). The work is executed on paper laid to card. Along the bottom there appears to be a partial 'MBM' watermark. The drawing has some slight undulations: i.e. it does not lie perfectly flat, though any variations in evenness of surface are minor. The outer 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch (.63 to .95 cm) of this work is bordered in black, as intended by the artist. Generally this work is in good overall condition, with fresh colors, apart from some generally minor imperfections to parts of the sheet: this includes an approx. 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) crease in surface of work at outer upper right corner; along some localized parts of the outer edges of the sheet, there are some minor losses and some small areas where the top layer of the sheet has peeled away from the ground; some slight surface scratches and a tiny surface nick at lower right; and some localized discolored spots (of unknown origin), including to parts of the foliage at right, and a spot at bottom of dress of figure at left.
