The artists used mainly sepia ink and brown wash with a few drops of blue gouache.

The drawing is showcased in a mid 18th century gilt wood frame, the simplicity of which is the perfect medium to highlight the beauty of the drawing.

The Drawing is 7.75 inches high by 4.50 inches wide.
The Frame measures 10.75 inches high by 7.75 inches wide

The Drawing was appraised by the Cabinet de Bayser and purchased in Paris in April 2018.
