There is an old repair to the figure in the lower left of the sheet, where the iron gall ink has previously caused a loss to the sheet. There is also some show through, where the drawings to the verso are also faintly visible to the recto. The work remains in predominantly good condition, with the combination of media fresh and vibrant. Sold in a modern giltwood frame.
