Medium

Black chalk.

Condition

There is a minor infill and major abrasion. A significant

ridge along the upper and lower margins, and less so at the

left and right edges, is from an old hinge (presumably) on

the verso. There is uneven discolouration and speckling

and a narrow band of adhesive residue at the left edge.

The secondary support is skinned and torn with adhesive

residues. It is hinged with white paper gum tape and

pendant hinges.
