PROVENANCE: Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia.
In the family’s possession ever since.

In good condition. Small areas of paint wear and flaking along the edges of the painting, caused by framing. In the lower left and lower right corners, there are very few tiny brown spots on the paint surface, these are virtually unnoticeable in the overall composition. Under UV light, a few brushstrokes that appear darker are visible in the lower part of the painting, however, these are likely original and inherent to the work. All in all, the overall impression is extremely harmonious. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the aid of a UV light source, and to the best of our knowledge and belief.
