OSCAR DOMINGUEZ | Toro y mujeres (Bull and Women)

Henriette Gomès, Paris
Private Collection, Mexico

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and attached to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The lower and right edges are unevenly cut. The paper is slightly time-stained. There are some flattened creases which run diagonally across the upper left corner and a flattened horizontal crease towards the lower part of the left edge. There is a vertical tear (approx. 3cm. long) to the right part of the lower edge and a loss to the lower right corner, both of which have been repaired with tape to the verso. There are some minor nicks and losses to the right, upper and lower edges, and there is some foxing in places, primarily to the right hand part of the composition. This work is in overall good condition.
