Private collection, Belgium

Paris, Musée Maillol, Foujita, Peindre dans les années folles, 2018, no. 9, illustrated in the catalogue p. 57

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount with tape along the upper edge and affixed with plastic transparent corners at the lower corners. The upper, left and right edges are deckled with associated small nicks. There are tiny remnants of transparent tape along the left and right edges. The sheet is slightly undulating. There are an horizontal crease (approx. 21 cm long) to the centre of the red shape to the lower part of the sheet and another horizontal crease (approx. 15 cm long) towards the centre of the upper edge above the dancers. There are a few smaller additional faint creases in place, notably to the centre of the upper edge and to the face of the centre dancer. This work is in overall very good condition.
