Acquired from the above in 1952

Condition

Oil on unlined canvas. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from minor pigment separation, especially in the greens, and some very minor scattered fine horizontal craquelure. Under UV light, the unevenly applied varnish fluoresces and makes it difficult to read the work. In overall good condition.
