Acquired in 1985 by Dr. Arthur Brandt

The overall tonality is lighted and brighter in the original work compared to the catalogue illustration, especially the pink and red. The work was inspected framed. There is one hole located on the upper right corner, barely visible under the frame's edge, corresponding to a nail likely from the artist's hanging. It is likely that there are three more in each of the other corners. The edges are slightly dirty. A 5cm (approx) scratch is visible by the signature.
