Lot Essay

We are grateful to Rolande Miquel and Tazi Klaa for their assistance in cataloguing this work. Because of previous cataloguing errors the work was inadvertently included twice in the Diaz de la Peña catalogue raisonné. In their forthcoming supplement to the catalogue raisonné, the provenance will be consolidated and corrected and the work will be catalogued only under number 1441.
