flush-mounted, signed, annotated 'France,' and dated in ink on the reverse, framed, a Pace/MacGill Gallery, New York, label on the reverse, 1950

Acquired from Pace/MacGill Gallery, New York, 2007

This slightly warm-toned photograph, on lightly-textured paper with a modest surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. The print is trimmed to the image, and there is very minor edge wear with attendant miniscule losses. Upon very close examination, the following are visible: 2 tiny deposits of original retouching on the door; and 2 tiny white matte adhesions of indeterminate nature in the upper left quadrant.
