We are grateful to Ms. Hadwig Goetz for her kind support in cataloging this lot. The drawing will be included in the digital addendum to the catalogue raisonné of drawings, gouaches and collages under the number 2181A.
Private collection Hesse (since 1976, art dealer Dr. Ewald Rathke, Frankfurt a. Main)
