oil on canvas
73.3 by 92.2cm., 28¾ by 36¼in.
Framed: 93 by 101.5cm., 36½ by 44in.
Painted in 1934.
The canvas is not lined. Inspection under UV light reveals a few pin-sized spots of retouching to parts of the edges, and one to the pink wall just above the pile of blankets. There are several pin-sized holes to the edges of the canvas, and one to the centre of the lower right quadrant. There are a few tiny paint losses in places, most noticeably to the figure's left knee. There are some fine lines of craquelure in places and a few scattered fly spots. This work is in overall very good condition.
