Galerie Enrico Navarra, Paris
Acquis auprès de celle-ci par le propriétaire actuel

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although they are very fresh and vivid in the original work. The work is in excellent condition and is laid down on a cardboard. Artist's pinholes are visible at each of the four corners upon very close inspection. A tiny paint loss (approx. 3 mm) is visible in the upper right quadrant upon very close inspection. Four creases running horizontally through the sheet of paper are visible upon close inspection. A dent (approx. 3 cm) is faintly visible in the upper centre area of the sheet.
