Provenance
Sale: Claude Aguttes, Paris, 22 December 2008, lot 114
Condition
The artist's canvas has been strengthened with a strip-lining along the four tacking edges. Ultra-violet light reveals relatively minor signs of retouching, notably numerous strokes of strengthening in the sky and around (though apparently not in) the artist's signature. This painting is in good overall condition, and could benefit from a light surface clean if desired.
Presented in a decorative gilt frame, with a nameplate, and a fabric-covered inner slip.
