Estate of the artist
Private Collection
Acquired from the above in 1996

The work is in very good condition. The work is executed on an artist prepared board. The board is sound. There are very minor losses to the top level of the board along the bottom half of the left and right edges as well as the bottom edge near the lower left and lower right corners. There is one minor chip to the board in the top left corner. The medium is well-preserved and the colors are bright and fresh. Under UV inspection, no inpainting is apparent.
