As per the "Complete Drawings" catalog, this work was signed and dated later by the artist, and was misdated at that time. Sheet is tipped to backing at all four corners. Sheet is lightly toned, with an area of darker staining scattered along right edge. Upper right and lower right corners are rounded, and appear original to the sheet - the work was assumedly removed from an artists' sketchpad, and shows two small notches along left side, presumably from sketchpad.
