Literature
Jean Lafranchis, Marcoussis, sa vie, son œuvre. Catalogue complet des peintures, fixés sur verre, aquarelles, dessins, gravures, Paris, 1961, no. F.57, illustrated p. 293 (as dating from 1924)
Condition
The glass is intact. There are flakes of paint loss in the light grey areas towards the upper right quadrant and towards the centre of the composition, these are visible in the catalogue illustration. There appears to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light on the recto. Otherwise, this work is in good overall condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the colours are more vibrant in the original.
