Hammer Galleries, New York (from a stamp on the stretcher)
Private collection

The medium is gouache on paper laid down on canvas. The work is in very good overall condition. There is paper tape at all four edges, slightly visible in the current framing. There is some minor frame abrasion in portions of the extreme edges. There is some very slight undulation/pulling in the lower right and upper left corners. At the center of the top edge just before the paper tape, there is a light brownish discoloration descending downward 1 inch. The colors are vibrant and fresh and the work presents very well.
