Both sheets are free within frames and not hinged or tipped to backing. Both sheets are in overall good condition, with no apparent losses or notable wear. The collaged elements on the upper piece appear fully adhered to the sheet with no apparent lifting, loss, or rippling. Some glue marks along edges, consistent with the materials and presentation of the work. Both sheets have areas of grey impasto, and there are a few small instances on the larger of the two sheets where the grit inherent to the medium has slid, leaving marks on the surface of the work. The outer plexi cases show general wear, grime and surface scratches. The plexi casing of the smaller upper piece has broken at two seams at the corners (not within face of work, but on overlap/sides) and these two seams have been taped over. The reverse of both sheets show faint toning, though no evidence of toning is apparent on the face of either sheet.

NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle's auction of Impressionist & Modern Art on November 20, 2024 showcased fine European and American paintings, drawings and sculpture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The offerings spanned Academic and Barbizon art through Impressionism and Post-Impressionism to German Expressionism and early Modernism.

Highlighting the auction was a lovely painting by Vietnamese/French artist Le Pho that achieved $140,200, far over its $60,000-90,000 estimate. The work exemplifies his signature style defined by fluid brushwork and soft, harmonious color palettes.

The sale also saw strong results for works by Julius LeBlanc Stewart, Pablo Picasso, Jane Peterson, Norbertine Von Bresslern-Roth, Zao Wou Ki, Paul Signac, Maurice Utrillo, Camille Pissarro, Jean Dufy, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani and 19th century French drawings and watercolors from the Alan and Marion Oliner Collection.
