On the reverse, a lengthy handwritten annotation detailing the circumstances under which the drawing was created, noting in particular: “Ossip Sculptor ZADKINE PARIS between 1930 and 1935 (…) Drawn on blotting paper from a desk pad at the sales representatives’ table at Fèvre & Cie, stones and marbles, 10 rue Lincoln in Paris, while waiting regarding an order for Pouillenay stone that he placed with me. ” The reference to Pouillenay stone corresponds to a material used by Zadkine in several sculptures from this period.
