Second early composition by Els Amman, darker and more atmospheric in color scheme than her work from 1961. Depicts a figure with a raised hand and a second, dreamy face with an expressive eye, enlivened by a striking yellow patch of light. Signed and dated "els amman 1962" in the lower left. This work also dates from her early, artistically searching period shortly after her time at the academy.
Purchased on April 30, 1998, at Art Dealer/Gallery Richard ter Borg in Groningen, as evidenced by the original (depersonalized) invoice, on which the work is listed as "INK ON PAPER, 'COMPOSITIONS'", at the time fl. 1,100.
The invoice, including the signature of gallery owner Richard ter Borg, is enclosed as proof of provenance.
