M. Knoedler & Co., Inc., New York
Private Collection, USA (acquired from the above circa 1960s)
Thence by descent to the present owner

Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on board. The lower edge is slightly unevenly torn. The sheet is time-struck, and there is also a border of light mount-staining and studio dirt to the extreme edges. There is a small repaired tear to the right side of the extreme lower edge and a flattened crease to the lower right corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the sheet is slightly less pink in the original.
