The drawing is largely in tact, but bears numerous issues. There is general fading and foxing to the sheet, as well as light soiling and general spotting throughout; the spotting is especially pronounced towards the lower left corner of the sheet. There is also a prominent vertical crease that extends down the entirety of the middle of the sheet. There are other moderate creases to the sheet. Most significantly, there are a few holes and losses; the most prominent are at the top and bottom of the middle of the sheet, and there are others around edges, potentially caused by pins from when the drawing has previously been displayed. Overall, the drawing would clearly require restoration.
