Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner circa 1966

Condition: This work is in good condition. Signs of craquelure on the lower left corner and along the top axis. There is a small and slightly larger craquelure on the mid-right edge which would benefit from consolidation. -out, only visible upon close inspection. The work could benefit from a light clean. No sign of restoration under UV light. Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate, with the overall tonality of the yellows being slightly more beige in the original work. The illustration fails to convert the texture of the original work.
