Gouache, pastel and India ink on simili Japan paper. The reverse of the sheet is hinged to the mount in two places at the upper reverse edge. Some creases and surface unevenness throughout inherent to the artist’s medium and support. One or two minor pigment losses in the gouache impasto. The upper and left sheet edge are slightly uneven. The pigments are very strong and very fresh throughout. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that this work appears to be in generally very good condition.

Des froissures et des irrégularités de surface sur l’ensemble de la composition inhérentes au médium et au support de l’artiste. Un ou deux minuscules manques de peinture dans les empâtements de gouache. Les bords supérieurs et gauche sont légèrement irréguliers. Les pigments sont vifs et frais sur l’ensemble de la composition. Sous réserve de ce qui précède et selon notre opinion, cette œuvre apparaît en très bonne condition générale.
