Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

Condition

The board is flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. Some of the blotches of cream impasto fluoresce under ultra-violet light - however this appears to be due to the artist's pigments rather than retouching. This work is in very good original condition and ready to hang. Presented in a grey wooden frame.
