PROVENANCE: Private collection, Southern Germany (acquired from the artist in 2012).

In good condition, with fine colors. The outer corners of the painting are slightly rubbed. Slightly dusty. Partial, faint craquelure due to the technique used. A small spot of varnish in the centre of the left green edge, probably from the studio. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the aid of a UV light source and to the best of our knowledge and belief.
