Provenance

Sale: Christie's, London, 29 November 1988, lot 164
Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

Condition

The canvas has been lined. Ultra-violet light reveals a line of retouching (possibly an old repair, 23cm long) in the tree in the background towards the right edge, one small spot in the far lower left corner and some other minor scattered spots. However, considering the canvas dimensions, this work is in good overall condition and ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
