Condition Report:
The canvas is unlined and inspection under UV light reveals a slightly uneven varnish but no obvious signs of retouching. There is some light frame abrasion to the extreme edges. There is some paint shrinkage mostly to the upper left quadrant, and there are fine lines of craquelure to the thicker areas of pigment. There is a thin surface scratch to the left part of the sky. This work is in overall very good condition.

Provenance:
Marguerite Deyres Marquet, France (the artist's mother)

Dr. Bézian, France (gift from the above in 1907)

Thence by descent to the present owner
