Young Woman on Sofa with Book, Late 19th C. Graphite Drawing massachusetts which does work fine

which does work fine

with crusty accumulation in the corners

It does not stand up on its own

though I'm not sure I would interfere with its pretty pure perfection just as it is

Young Woman on Sofa with Book, Late 19th C. Graphite Drawing massachusetts which does work fineOne of two c. late 19th century graphite drawings found together, certainly by the same person and surely pulled from the same sketchbook. I really love the face on this young woman, looking quite confident and wise beyond her years and also with a certain luxuriousness to her situation, big fluffy pillow under her elbow and book open beside her. A nice one for hanging near one's favorite reading spot. 6 3 8" x 4 1 2" and in very good condition, paper
