Jacques Damase, Paris
Private collection, France

Please note that images of lots 273 and 274 have been inverted in the printed catalogue (but correctly illustrated in the e-catalogue and in the pdf print catalogue available on our website). Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and sandwiched between two glasses. Left and lower edges are deckled, with associated minor nicks, tears and creases. Upper and right edges are unevenly cut with a few associated small nicks. The upper right corner is folded, probably original. There is a flattened horizontal crease along the lower edge and a few further smaller flattened creases in places. The sheet is slightly light stained and ink appears to have slightly faded. This work is in overall good condition.
