Notes on Material


Comments on Condition
The Riopelle Catalogue Raisonné notes this watercolour was originally used as a jacket cover for a book. The grid-like creasing on the work is therefore likely evidence of how it would have been folded around a book. Please contact Heffel Calgary for additional images, or further questions.
