Information

India ink on heavy cream paper. 49 × 39,2 cm (19 ¼ × 15 ⅜ in.). Signed and dated lower right: Irma Stern 1931. [3300]

Condition Report: Fine, harmonious overall appearance. The sheet edges without tears or losses. The corners in places slightly bumped with accompanying fine diagonal creases. In the upper and the left margins, each faint crease marks or pressure lines running parallel to the respective edge, partially only visible in raking light. Isolated, faint shell-shaped handling creases. The paper overall slightly unfresh and with minuscule pale pinpoint foxing. In the left margin, a few faint reddish scuffs. On the reverse, the paper slightly scuffed
