Biarritz, Espace Bellevue, Passion et raison d'un esprit constructif, une conquête de l'art d'Amèrique Latine: Oeuvres de la Fundación Daniela Chappard, June 27 - September 30, 2006, no. 42, p. 66, illustrated in color 

This work has been recently restored. The canvas has been lined with a non-wax adhesive. The paint layer does not appear to be varnished. The only retouches appear to address very small and thin cracking and in a few isolated areas: across the top edge and in the light gray in the upper left. In general, the condition is very good and the work should be hung as-is. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
