Provenance
Anonymous sale, Zurich, KollerWest, 16 September 2013, lot 6492.
Condition
Oil on panel. The panel is relatively flat. There is a shiny varnish over the entire surface, with some minor abrasions at the edges, likely from a previous frame. A few scattered spots of pale white in the lower left quadrant and a disturbance to the surface near the center; in overall good condition. Under UV light, very little is revealed. The upper third of the work cannot be seen through the varnish; there appears to be strengthening to the outlines and details of the two men at far left and a few small scattered spots of inpaint across the work. Ready to hang.
