Sketch of a Boy's Head
Framed: 15 x 13 1/4 x 1 in.
Sight: 9 1/2 x 8 1/2 in.
Minor deposits of surface dirt and dust; sheet is between a mat and backboard that are glued together, making the verso inaccessible without destroying the materials; it is unclear if the sheet is laid down, as there are very small ripples visible along all edges; uneven toning along the upper and lower edges; a few minor creases scattered through the edges, with a more visible crease at center right next to figure's hair. Small spots of discoloration at upper left and lower right. Additional images available upon request.
