Galerie Theo Hill, Cologne
Acquired by the present owner in 1964

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at all four corners and floating in the mount. The sheet is slightly time-stained and the extreme edges are slightly discoloured. There is a repaired paper loss to the lower left corner and two minor tears (approx. 1mm each) to the right part of the lower edge. There are some very faint old tape marks visible at the upper corners and the lower right corner. There are some very faint spots of foxing as well as a small faint stain to the centre of the composition. This work is in overall good condition.
