Sale: Gros & Delettrez, Paris, 23 June 2008, lot 57
Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

Condition

The canvas has been relined. Ultraviolet light reveals notably strokes of retouching in the upper half of the extreme right edge, spots along the left edge, and strokes of strenghtening in some of the horses and riders. There are some other areas of fluorescence which are most likely attributable to the artist's pigments and the uneven varnish layers. The overall appearance of the work under normal light is good and it is ready to hang. Presented in a coved and fluted gilt frame.
