Provenance
Anonymous sale, Amsterdam, Mak van Waay, 24 May 1966, lot 408;
J. Oppenheimer, Sweden.
Condition
The actual painting is less dark and more light and with better detail than the catalogue illustration suggests.The paint surface seems good, there is some paint loss along the left edge, due to the frame, but other than that, there are no major damages. There is a slight tendency towards cupping lower centre. Inspection under UV light is largely impeded by the varnish layer, which is very shiny, but it does reveal some scattered retouchings in the background. Offered in a plaster gilt frame, a few chips.
