European private collection (acquired from the above in 2007).

In very good condition. With foldings and creasing in the corrugated cardboard, immanent in the work and from before the paint was applied, edges irregular. Left edge blemished in places and with small splits. Brown background in upper right with a small pressure mark in the cardboard, also from before the paint was applied and hence immanent. With minimal siolated color losses in the impasto black-purle parts in right that do not impair the fine overall impression.
