Literature
Christian Zervos, Pablo Picasso, oeuvres de 1967 et 1968, Paris, 1973, vol. 27, no. 234, illustrated p. 92
The Picasso Project, Picasso's Paintings, Watercolors, Drawings and Sculpture. The Sixties III, 1968-1969, Sa🦋n Francisco, 2002, no. 68-067, illustrated p. 20
Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down to a mounting board. The sheet is time-stained and there are two tiny spots of foxing towards the centre of the right edge. There is a 1cm. repaired tear to the centre of the lower edge and some paper skinning towards the upper edge and lower edge. This is probably inherent to the separation of the original work into two sheets (the recto of this work is also illustrated in Zervos, vol. 27, no. 234). Otherwise, this work is in overall fairly good condition.
