JULES PASCIN | Nu (Clara)

Galerie Rambert, Paris
Private Collection, France
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is attached to the backing board on the verso of all four corners and is floating in the mount. There are some flattened creases in places, notably across all four corners. There are some very minor tears towards the centre of the lower edge, the longest of which is approx. 1cm long, and two small nicks along the upper the right edge. There is a small paper loss to the tip of the lower left corner. This work is in overall good condition.
