Provenance

Phoenix Gallery, Lavenham, where acquired by the parents of the present owners in the 1970s

Condition

Sound board. There appears a very slight frame abrasion to the extreme left edge and a further spot of surface matter to the pigs on the right hand side, visible upon close inspection, with a slight spot of rubbing to a single area of raised thicker impasto close by. This excepting the work appears in very good overall condition. The nature of the materials makes for a difficult ultraviolet light reading, but there minor areas of fluorescence and probable retouchings to areas along the extreme edge, most probably in line with a previous framing, with a further couple of scattered spots elsewhere to the composition. Housed in a thick wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
