Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

Condition

Executed on paper laid down on canvas. A few small lines of craquelure are visible. There is a slightly milky varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating. However, UV examination reveals a few creases due to the artist's laying down process, and a tiny paper loss towards the upper right corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
