Ambroise Vollard, Paris
Galerie Rosengart, Lucerne (by 1946)
Acquired from the above by the family of the present owner

The canvas is not lined. There is a small support loss to the lower left edge, and a nailhead-sized speck of paper attached to the paint surface towards the lower left corner. Apart from some very faint craquelure to the thicker areas of pigment, this work is in good condition. Colours: The yellows are less pronounced and there is more of an olive hue to the skin tones in the original.
