Private collection, Rhineland Palatinate. Ever since family-owned
In good condition. The upper right and lower left corners of the image are slightly unstable, the upper right corner appears to have been stabilized previously with a piece of canvas (?), possibly by the artist himself. Small retouching along the edges of the image. There is a small hole in the center of the left and right edges, but these are inherent to the work. Craquelure in places due to the material. The condition report was compiled in daylight with a UV light source and to the best of our knowledge and belief.
