Foujita revisited the subject of the Mother and Child numerous times in his life. A very similar composition, with a watercolour and gold leaf background, was sold at Christie's on 22nd June 2006.

The drawing appears to be in very good condition. The ink is well preserved, with minimal fading to the colours and minimal foxing to the paper. There are a few isolated areas of dirt trapped beneath the glazing, but, separately from this, there is minimal overall wear. It presents well and is ready to hang.
