NOTE: The original provenance given to the drawing had it purchased from Curt Valentin, however, John Honsbeen, a former assistant to Curt Valentin before going to work for the Peridot Gallery says that Mrs. Orswell purchased the drawing from Peridot. A label from the original backing paper would seem to support this claim, the provenance has been changed to reflect this information.
