The Redfern Gallery, London, where acquired by the previous owner, 19th April 1961
Their sale, Sotheby's London, 25th May 2011, lot 44, where acquired by the present owner

The sheet is secured to the mount with tabs of adhesive tape in each of the four corners and with one further tab along the upper edge. The left and right edges are slightly deckled, and the upper edge is slightly unevenly cut. The sheet undulates slightly, in keeping with the medium. There is at least one artist's pinhole in each corner, and there is a very tiny associated loss in the lower left corner. There are one or two very tiny flecks of possible foxing to the sheet in the centre towards the upper edge. There is a very tiny amount of studio matter and surface dirt to the sheet. Subject to the above the work appears to be in excellent overall condition with fresh and vibrant passages of colour. The sheet is float mounted and held behind glass in a simple wooden frame.
