Galerie Paul Vallotton, Lausanne
Private Collection (acquired from the above)
Sale: Christie's, Paris, 23rd May 2007, lot 187
Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on board. The left, right and lower edges are deckled. The sheet is slightly time-stained, and there are some paper remants and residue intermittently along all four edges due to previous mounting. There is an artist's pinhole to each of the four corners, and some paint shrinkage with associated tiny paint losses to the yellow pigment and some minor foxing to the sky. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the greens and yellows brighter in the original.
