E.C. Goossen, Buskirk, New York (gift of the artist circa 1970)
By descent to the present owner from the above

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is irregularly torn along the perforated top edge, presumably having been torn from a notebook by the hand of the artist. There are some small spots of foxing visible at the top right edge and very faint discoloration along the upper right side. The discoloration is less severe than in the catalogue illustration as the work has benefited from a surface cleaning. Hinged verso to the matte and framed under Plexiglas.
