Condition Report
There is a Treasury blind stamp below the lower hand and red ink or paint stain on the lower ankle and foot. General light staining and early foxing to the paper are commensurate with age. Paper is brown, and pencil lines look good. The drawing is sealed in the frame and glazed with standard glass - it has not been inspected out of the frame.
