Provenance

Sale: Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, March 11, 1978, lot 116

Condition

Lined canvas. The surface is very thin, thus making the red ground visible; a very long repair is crossing the work horizontally at center; several other, fairly long repairs can be seen at bottom, right and upper edges. Small scratches at upper left corner. Under UV light: besides light retouching to the abovementioned repairs, very fine strokes of inpainting are sprinkled through the composition.
