Wally Findlay Gallery, New York (acquired by 1967)
Private Collection, Bronxville, New York
Acquired in 2013

This work is in overall very good condition. The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is an artist's pinhole to the upper right corner, two to the lower right corner and one to the lower left corner which appears to have been painted over by the artist. There is some stable paint shrinkage to some of the flatter black pigments. There is some general surface dirt and this work would likely benefit from a clean.
