Acquired from the above by the present owner in 1981
Condition
Executed on paper laid down on canvas. UV examination reveals some retouchings mainly to the green band in the sky. There are a few paint losses, the most prominent of which is to the red in the lower right corner. There are some lines of craquelure and a diagonal crease to the lower right corner inherent to the artist's laying down process. Otherwise, this work is in overall fairly good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though fresher and crisper in the original.
