Collection particulière, France
Acquis auprès du précédent dans les années 1950 puis par descendance au propriétaire actuel

The canvas is not lined. It is slightly buckling and could perhaps benefit from a re-stretching. There are some very small areas of hairline craquelure in the thicker impasto of the brushstrokes. There is no evidence of retouching under UV light. This work is in overall very good original condition.
