The present work is a preliminary drawing for a painting of the same name in the collection of the Columbus Museum of Art (accession number 1931.100).
The drawing, while not examined out of the frame, presents in overall very good condition. Entire sheet is visible, and appears to be affixed to mat in upper and lower corners. With light mat burn on four sides (corresponding to where it was presumably previously matted). Few, minor imperfections along right and bottom edges. Additional images available upon request.
Framed: 18 x 22 x 1 in.
