The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the sheet tends more towards cream and the blue is slightly brighter in the original work. The work was inspected framed. The sheet is slightly wavy and there is a very faint fold mark at the tip of the upper right corner. This work is in very good condition.

À la tête des Éditions Cercle d’Art durant 30 ans (1982 - 2012), Philippe Monsel a collaboré avec les plus grands artistes pour offrir au large public d’amateurs des centaines d’ouvrages de référence sur leur œuvre.

Ces longs travaux d’édition de livres de fond se déroulaient avec l’art de l'amitié partagée.  Fréquemment, les artistes ont offert à Philippe Monsel de choisir une de leurs œuvres, pour lui témoigner ainsi leur amitié. Sotheby’s a aujourd’hui sélectionné, à l’attention des amateurs et connaisseurs, un florilège de vingt de ces œuvres jamais montrées (sauf parfois en reproduction dans des ouvrages) de cette brillante collection particulière qui reflète le regard artistique, au combien averti, de l’éditeur ami et promoteur des artistes.

Head of the Éditions Cercle d’Art for 30 years, Philippe Monsel collaborated with several great artists in order to offer hundreds of reference book on their works to a public of amateurs.

This lengthy job of publishing fundamental books took place with the art of shared friendships. The artists frequently proposed Philippe Monsel to choose one of their works, as a testimony to their friendship. Sotheby’s has selected today, to the attention of amateurs and connoisseurs, a selection of twenty of these works, never yet exhibited (except sometimes as reproductions in books) from this brilliant private collection which reflects the informed, artistic gaze of this publisher, both friend and promoter of artists.
