Missing in the 1959 sale of von Kühlmann’s collection of drawings, it was sold, together with further sheets hold back then, only a generation later. – Little noticeable slight fox spots. Of the two old traces of former mounting at the rear upper corners only one barely noticeable from the front. – Slight light line in the cut of the passepartout.
