Sotheby's Singapore, 12 October 2003, Lot 100
Acquired from the above sale by the present owner
Private Collection, U.S.A. 

The work is in good condition overall as viewed with evidence of very minor handling along the edges. Upon very close observation, there faint fox marks visible on the top right corner along with evidence of snagged silk on the face and neck areas and two brown spots on the neck area. There is a slight undulation on the top left corner area. Any inconsistency is due to the artist's choice of medium and working method. Examination under ultraviolet light shows no sign of restoration. Framed, under Plexiglas.
