Lithograph printed in colours, 1959, signed in pencil, inscribed epreuve d'artiste XVIII/XXV, aside from the numbered edition of 50, on Arches wove paper, with full margins, in good condition apart from pale light-staining
Condition
The print is in good condition as catalogued. Faint light-staining appears in a window around the image and the exposure to light has slightly affected the colours. Remains of adhesive tape to the upper, left and right margin edges of sheet verso, the print is also hinged to the front mount with adhesive tape at top and bottom (this latter is easily removed.) The sheet has probably been cleaned and the signature is not as strong as it could be.
