Private Collection (acquired directly from the artist)
Thence by descent to the present owner 

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and slightly loosely stretched. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. Light soiling is present along each of the extreme edges of the canvas. A fine, faint vertical surface abrasion measuring 4 1/2 inches in length is present in the lower left quadrant of the canvas, in the navy blue stripe. Under ultraviolet light examination, a 1/2 inch horizontal area of fluorescence becomes apparent at the extreme upper left edge of the canvas, two inches from the upper left corner. Framed.
