Accompanied by a photograph of the work certified to the reverse by Kizette de Lempicka Foxhall on 30 June, 1987, that the drawing is by her mother, together with a letter of Alain Blondel (Galerie Alain Blondel, Paris) dated 5 June, 1998, affirming that the drawing raises no questions of authenticity.

Estimate $3,000 - $5,000

The work is framed behind glass and has not been examined out of the frame in preparing this report, although with the sheet float-mounted, its recto is fully visible.

The sheet appears to be in excellent condition with little appreciable handling wear; its right-hand edge is slightly curled upwards.

The work is housed a fabric-lined mount and gilt frame that is probably around twenty years old and remains in a good condition.
