Acquired from the above by the present owner circa 1977-78
Condition
The canvas is not lined. There appear to be some flecks of retouching to the background to the right of the cat, visible under UV light. There are some very fine lines of raised craquelure, lifting in places, and visible in the catalogue illustration. There is a tiny spot of paint abrasion towards the upper left edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the colours are slightly brighter in the original.
