Corporate Collection, UK
Condition
Original canvas.
There are isolated small areas of craquelure and paint separation, specifically in the two left quadrants. There is also a line of craquelure running along the very far left edge. There is a small fleck of paint loss in the centre of the left edge.
Ultraviolet light reveals an opaque varnish which makes the surface difficult to read conclusively. There appear to be a few very tiny flecks of retouching to the UN tower and in the sky to the left of it. There also appears to be a small area of retouching along the lower edge near the left hand corner.
Contained in a gilt composite frame.
