Benezit Collection, Paris
Gallery Jacques Lindon, New York
Acquired from the above in 1956

Executed on cream wove paper laid down on card. Left, right and top edges of sheet are deckled. Very faint mat stain visible around extreme perimeter, and sheet is likely somewhat time darkened overall with some light fading to medium. A faintly visible line across the center of the sheet and down the left edge may correspond to a repaired tear which necessitated the laying down of the sheet. The work is in fairly good condition.
