Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter in the original.
The sheet is laid on canvas.
Due to the artist's process, three losses of paint are only visible under close inspection:
- one located 7 cm from the lower edge and 17 cm from the left edge.
- one located 7 cm from the lower edge and 24 cm from the left edge
- one located 9,5 cm from the right edge and 7 cm from the upper edge.
This work is in very good condition.

"Il est difficile de séparer le "matérieau" de la "création" chez Fautrier: son oeuvre est un tout lié dans le même sens que l'homme créé à partir de la glaise est matière animée, vivante." (in catalogue Fautrier 1898-1964, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, 1989, Fautrier, la chair de l'émotion, p.45)
