Not examined out of frame. The turpentine-soaked paper has browned slightly and evenly. The sheet has been unevenly trimmed inside the platemark, or the artist chose to use paper smaller than the plate size. The tip of the lower right corner and a tiny portion of the lower left corner have been replaced. Lower left edge and top edge are slightly ragged. Minor thin spots.
