Provenance

Galerie Peithner-Lichtenfels & Cubrda, Prague
Purchased from the above by the present owner in 1997

Condition

The canvas has not been lined. There are some scattered fine lines of craquelure on the paint surface, notably towards the centre-right of the composition, and two areas (centre-left and lower centre) which fluoresce quite strongly under ultra-violet light. However, this appears to be the artist's pigment rather than restoration. The picture is in overall good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a narrow wooden frame.
