Darga Landsberg, Paris
Acquired from the above by the present owner in 2004

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the blue is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a short and light rubmark at the right centre of the upper edge as well as some very faint and unobtrusive rubmarks throughout the composition in isolated places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
