EMIL NOLDE | Roten Dahlien (Red Dahlias)

The Norton Simon Foundation, Los Angeles
Fischer Fine Art, London
Acquired from the above on October 11, 1978

Executed on cream wove paper. The sheet is hinged at two places along the top edge of its verso. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the application of the watercolor. Some minor handling creases to the extreme edges, particularly to the upper left and upper right edges. The medium is bright and well preserved. There is a small nick to the sheet in the lower right corner. The work is in overall very good condition.
