Provenance

Sale: Hôtel des ventes de Grenoble (Maître Pierre Blache), 16 December 1968
Purchased at the above sale by the father of the present owner

Condition

The canvas has an old relining which is providing a stable support. The surface is in very good condition, with a yellowed varnish that would respond well to cleaning. With the exception of a very minor stroke of retouching along the extreme right framing edge, visible under ultra violet light, this painting is therefore in very good condition. Held in its original Salon-style gilt wood frame. The colours in the catalogue illustration are overall accurate, although the varnish is slightly yellower in reality.
