Galerie Brazza, Paris
Private Collection, France

This painting is in untouched condition. However, the canvas has slightly relaxed on its stretcher. There is a thin scratch in the upper right, and another emanating from the lower right edge. There is also an isolated loss towards the right edge and there are a few other scuffs on the left edge. The condition is very fresh and original. If the canvas were tightened better and these tiny retouches attended to, the work would be in beautiful condition.
