Willy Kok, Amsterdam;
sale, Amsterdam, Sotheby's, 15 November 1995, lot 187

Unframed. The drawing is in very good condition. There is a tiny pin prick hole at the centre of the upper margin, and a little surface dirt at the upper right corner, but otherwise the sheet is fine, the red chalk strong and fresh.
