Acquired at the above sale
Condition
Canvas is not lined, but the frame and strecher both appear to be very slightly warped. There is a dime-sized area of faintly visible repair at the center of the lower left quadrant that corresponds to a patch on the reverse. The surface of the work is very slightly dirty. Under UV light: a thick layer of varnish is difficult to read through; however, the aforementioned repair fluoresces, as does a small area of the right of the repair. Areas of thicker varnish elsewhere fluoresce, but no significant inpainting is apparent. Overall the work is in good condition.
