- Composition

- Painted in 1937.
Condition
It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. The canvas is not lined. There is milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however the examination under UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. There are a few thin line of stable craquelure in places and an horizontal surface scratch (approx. 2 cm long) possibly original to the extreme lower left white-grey element. There are a few flyspots to the centre of the composition and some light frame rubbing along extremes edges. This work is overall good condition and could benefit from a clean.
