Private Collection, Paris

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount along the upper edge. There are very light tiny scratches towards the upper left corner. Apart from time staining along all four edges (not visible when framed), some slight specks of foxing to the sheet and light studio dirt, this work is in very good condition. Colours: The paper tone is much warmer in the original than in the catalogue illustration.
