Condition
Executed on a page extracted from the book Miro by J. Prévert & G. Ribemont-Dessaignes published in 1956, not laid down, hinged to the mount in all four corners and floating in its mount. The sheet is gently undulating and the right edge is unevenly cut and appears to be supported on the verso by tape. There are minor stains to the left and lower edge, possibly commensurate with a former mount. There are two areas of skinning to the centre of the sheet (the larger measuring approx 1 by 2 cm). There is a flattened crease to the left of the upper edge (measuring approx. 0.5cm). The medium of the signature has slightly faded. This work is in overall good condition.
