Sale: Christie's, London, February 6, 2003, lot 475
Private Collection (acquired at the above sale and sold: Sotheby's, London, June 20, 2006, lot 242)
Acquired at the above sale by the present owners

Executed on shiny white wove paper, not laid down, T-hinged to the mount in the top two corners. There is asome wear to the pigment between the left figure's knee and her foot (probably the artist's correction). There are scattered specks of paint loss throughout the skirt to the center of the left half and at other areas of thick impasto. There is a 1cm. sq. area of paper-skinning in the center, inherent to the artist's process, and vertical flattened creases to the bottom left and top left corners. This work is in good condition.
