Estate of the Artist
Galerie Theo Hill, Cologne
Acquired from the above by the present owner in 1964

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and taped to the mount in three places along the upper edge (one piece of tape is towards the centre of the sheet). The sheet is slightly time stained and there are some scattered spots of foxing to the sheet. There is a repaired tear (approximately 1.5cm) to the centre of the lower edge and a further repaired tear (approximately 1cm.) to the lower part of the left edge. There is a flattened crease (approximately 5cm long) across the lower right corner and some further very fine creases in places, most prominently to the lower left corner and also along the upper part of the left edge. This work is in overall good condition.
