Dorry Hawinkels, Paris (a gift from the artist in 1964)
Thence by descent to the present owner 

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at two places along the upper edge and floating in the mount. There is residue of old tape to the reverse which shows through to the recto of the sheet at the left and right edges. There is a small loss to the sheet at the extreme upper right corner. The sheet has tiny scattered spots of foxing which could be improved. Overall this work is in good condition.
