Details

Medium:
Oil Pastel on fine Strathmore Wove paper.
Date:
1961
Signature:
Signed by the artist in blue pastel, en recto lower right, with date.
Framing:
This picture remains in its original frame, which is quite important because it is the work’s original frame, because it bears the ownership labels of ABC, and because it is a Kulicke style welded-corner frame. Unfortunately, the soft aluminum has suffered significant scratches and soiling over the past six decades. Because of the importance of the frame, though, we have reframed the work in this original frame after gently polishing out most of the scratches. If you prefer new framing, please let us know.
Condition:
Very good condition. Minimal spread of friable pastel. Minimal surface soiling.
Framed Size:
22 in. (h) x 29 in. (w) x 1 in. (d)
Provenance:
An excellent provenance. Property of the American Broadcasting Company, New York; thence to the Walt Disney Co., Burbank, California (acquired by corporate merger with the above); thence in a Private Collection, Los Angeles, acquired from the above.
