Sale: Sotheby's, Gleneagles, August 26, 1997, lot 1218, illustrated 
Richard Green, London
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Lined. The surface presents beautifully and the colors are vibrant. There is very minor, barely perceptible craquelure in the sky. Under UV: varnish fluoresces green unevenly but remains over the signature. There are a few isolated areas of dashed retouches and finely applied inpainting to address prior craquelure in the sky (including a 3 1/2 inch long line at upper right); a very few sparely applied retouches in the landscape and water (concentrated at lower right).
