Provenance

Sale: Sotheby's, Tel Aviv, October 5, 1993, lot 193 
Acquired at the above sale by the present owners

Condition

Oil on unlined canvas. The canvas is somewhat slack in the stretcher. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from a very unevenly applied varnish that does not extend to the sky upper right. Under UV light this varnish fluoresces and makes it hard to read the picture surface.
