Provenance
Sale, Antwerp, A. Hessel, 29 May - 2 June 1933, lot 100 (according to an old label on the reverse).
Condition
The support appears to consist of two horizontal panels joined together, and is cradled to the reverse. The paint surface is secure although a little abraded in areas, and is under a dirty, discoloured varnish. There are scattered discoloured retouchings to the sky, the panel join, and a crack running horizontally from the left edge 8 cm from the upper edge. Inspection under UV light reveals further scattered retouchings. The painting would benefit from a clean. Offered in a carved wood and plaster gilt frame with a damage on the left edge.
