Galerie Drouant-David, Paris 
Sale: Christie's, New York, 9th November 2000, lot 235
Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

The canvas is not lined and inspection under UV light reveals one very small area of in-painting to the table towards the right of the lower edge. There is some very minor frame abrasion to the extreme edges, notably to the lower centre, and a tiny pigment loss to the right of the table. Overall this work is in very good condition.
