Palais des Beaux Arts, Brussels
🌱Acquired directly from the above by the present owner in 1967

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter in the original, with the green of the male figure's coat a lighter hue. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the reflective quality of the mirror. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some very light wear along the bottom edge and to the gentleman's right leg visible upon close inspection only. There is a light rub mark running diagonally across the woman's hair, as well as a few tiny spots of discolouration to her face and elsewhere to her hair and suit.
