RENÉ MAGRITTE | Dessin sans titre (Diverses études) - recto verso

François Deknop, Brussels (acquired directly from the artist)
Private collection, Belgium

It has not been possible to see the work out of the frame. Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, floating in its frame, affixed to the backing framing glass in two points with tape at both right and left upper corners. There are a few flattened creases in places, notably towards the upper edge. The sheet is slightly light stained with a few faint scattered flecks of foxing. This work is in overall very good condition.
