PABLO PICASSO | Le Médecin auprès de Jean Cocteau malade

Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down. The work is executed on the front page of a larger sheet folded like a card. The back cover is t-hinged to the mount and has a square cut out of its upper edge. There is a horizontal crease running across the centre of the sheet probably folded by the artist to fit in an envelope. There is some very minor, barely visible foxing in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
