What Do You See? The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Part III

Framed: 29 x 22 x 2 in.

The drawing is in overall fair condition. The paper is hinged to the mat at the top two corners verso, and there is evidence of previous adhesive along the top edge. There is staining to the paper, particularly along the left edge running the length of the paper vertically, as well as a horizontal stain at the top, approx. 5 in. in length. The paper shows some discoloration as well, for instance in areas at the bottom center and bottom right. In our opinion, this could be the sign of a previous water damage. The paper is toned and has some pinpoint spots of foxing, for example to the left of the figure at bottom left and scattered in the sky. There is an approx. 2 in. long tear vertically from the top edge at center, as well as some soft handling creases. Additional images are available upon request.
