Auktionshaus Dörling, Hamburg, auction Dec. 6, 1984, lot 9484.
In good condition. The painting board, formerly painted on both sides, was split (catalogue raisonné no. 138). The edges of the image slightly irregularly trimmed and with slight marks and small color losses along the edges, probably due to a previous framing. With small retouched spots, mainly in margins and the center of the image. Upper left with two to three small holes, only visible against backlight. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the help of an ultraviolet light and to the best of knowledge.
