Acquis auprès du précédent au début des années 1970
Condition
Executed on tracing paper with a Guermand Voiron Parcheminé watermark, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount at two points: in the centre of the left and lower edges. There are four flattened creases running at an even distance from each edge (not visible when framed) indicating that the work was once folded to a smaller size. A close inspection reveals some smaller flattened creases and two small spots of surface abrasion towards the centre of the upper and left edges with an associated small hole to the sheet near the left edge (not visible when framed). Apart from some light time-staining, this work is in good condition.
