• His paintings from the 1930s are among the most sought-after works on the international auction market (source: artprice.com).

In good condition consistent with its age. The painting has been varnished. Isolated traces of rubbing around the edges due to framing, with minor loss of paint and a few small retouched spots. With a slight linear surface crack in the upper left quadrant, visible only under oblique light. Slight craquelure in places.
The condition report was compiled in daylight with the aid of a UV light source, and to the best of our knowledge and belief.
