Provenance

Gimpel Fils Gallery, London
Acquired from the above by the late owner on 29th March 1977

Condition

Executed on a thick sheet of cream wove paper, not laid down and taped to the overmount along the upper edge. The upper, lower, and left edges are deckled. There are some glue remnants to the left and right edges of the verso. There are a few extremely fine lines of localised craquelure in places and some inconsistency to the black medium, probably inherent to the artist's process. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
