Tête
signé F (en bas à gauche)
aquarelle sur papier
63 x 48,5 cm; 24¾ x 18⅞ in.
Exécuté en 1911.
L'authenticité de cette œuvre a été confirmée par Christophe Duvivier.
Condition Report:
The work has been examined partially framed in its mount. Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and affixed to the mount with tape along all four edges, the edges are not visible. There are tiny artist pinholes to each of the four corners and to the lower edge. There are a few tears to the sheet which appear to have been treated, the most prominent of which include one to the left eye, one to the centre of the lower edge, one to the left part of the upper edge, one towards the upper part of the right edge and a small area just above the chin. There is a further line of restoration with associated retouching to the figure's hair. There is a small loss to paper in the lower right corner with associated infilling and further wear with associated pigment losses and tiny tears to the other corners. There are surface scuffs, light scratches and a few stains in places. This work is in overall good condition.

Confiscated as Entartete Kunst by the Reichministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda, Berlin
