Alice Strobl, Gustav Klimt, Die Zeichnungen, 1912-1918, Salzburg, 1984, vol. III, no. 2633, illustrated p. 137

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in the top two corners. There is tape residue running intemermittently along the extreme edges of the reverse of the work and a further small tape remnant towards the upper edge of the reverse. Apart from some time staining to the edges, due to previous mounting (not visible when framed), and some very minor flattened creases and handling marks, mainly towards the left edge, this work is in very good condition. Colours: The paper tone is much warmer and the whites are stronger and more defined in the original.
