The drawing and frame are overall in acceptable pre-owned condition, the drawing was not inspected out of the frame, with light even toning throughout, the frame with some abrasions and scuff marks in places, the inside of the glass is covered in minor dirt particles and it would be great to have a framer open up the piece, clean the glass from the inside and put it back together
