Thence by descent (and sold: Bonhams, Los Angeles, November 17, 2009, lot 1013)
Private Collection

Executed on cream wove paper laid down on paper. A few spots of adhesive accretion are present at the extreme top edge of the sheet and just above the lower right corner; both appear to be related to prior mounting or framing. There are two small, white, circular studio stains at the lower right corner and a tiny spot of foxing to the right of the center of the composition. There is a visible mat mark on the verso from a prior mounting. Overall the work is in very good condition.
