E.J. van Wisselingh & Co., Amsterdam
Private Collection (acquired before 1981)

Canvas is unlined and is somewhat loose on its stretcher. Minor losses due to frame abrasion are visible along the extreme left edge and lower left corner, and there may be a tiny loss at the lower right corner. Under UV light: two 1-inch vertical lines of repair fluoresce toward the upper center of the composition. Certain pigments naturally fluoresce; otherwise fine. The work is in very good condition.
