Christie's Paris, 16 November 2002, Sale 5036, Lot 40

This slightly warm-toned photograph, on smooth paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. In raking light, there is a 1/2-inch crescent-shaped crease in the upper right quadrant that appears to break the emulsion. There is a 1/2-inch soft crease that does not appear to break the emulsion near the lower image edge. Also visible in raking light are a few tiny deposits of retouching, likely original, in the lower portion of the image. There is a small crease in the upper left print margin. The margin corners are bumped, and the lower corners are creased.
