- Still life with a pigeon, a great spotted woodpecker, a goldfinch, and a melon, grapes and other fruit in a landscape
- oil on canvas, unframed
- 95.5 by 70cm.; 37½ by 27½in.
Provenance
Anonymous sale, London, Christie's, 26 November 1971, lot 61 (as Giuseppe Ruoppolo).
Condition
The unframed canvas has quite a recent relining which is still effective. The paint surface has not been overly flattened and is a little dirty under a discoloured varnish. To the naked eye the paint surface appears in fair condition though the darker tones have become a little sunken. Inspection under UV light reveals some localised retouchings in the darker tones and in other minor areas but otherwise confirms the fair overall condition.
