In good condition. With isolated small brown spots and foxing, as well as soiling and studio marks. The pencil is slightly smudged in places, but this is probably due to the manufacturing process. Small tears along the edges of the sheet, especially on the right, some of which have been professionally repaired. A few small paper tears, such as at the bottom left, but these are almost only visible against the light.
