Paris, Cinquantenaire du Salon d'Automne, 1953, no. 128
Condition
The canvas is lined. There is a layer of varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination does reveal a line of retouching towards the upper part of the extreme right edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the greens are slightly lighter in the original.
