Galerie Druet, Paris
Vente: Versailles, Palais des congrès, 8 juin 1969, lot 13

The canvas is not lined. The canvas is slightly unstreched. There is a tiny paint loss to the left part of the sky, approx 4 cm above the yellow hill. There are some fine lines of craquelure in places, predominately to the sky. There are a few small lines (approx 10 cm) and small spots of superficial dirt to the centre of the lower edge. There is no evidence of retouching under UV light. This work is in very good original condition and could benefit from a clean.
