Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to reveal a tiny dot of retouching in the dark blue pigment towards the centre of the left edge. There is a small superficial vertical scratch (approx. 2 cm long) towards the centre of the upper edge. There is some minor frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in overall very good condition.

拍品資料及來源

"Giorgio de Chirico expresses as no one else has done the poignant melancholy of the close of a beautiful day in an old Italian city where, at the back of a lonely piazza, beyond the setting of loggias, porticos, and monuments to the past, a train chugs […] or a soaring factory chimney sends smoke into the cloudless sky"
