Note
The present work will be accompanied by a letter dated April 11, 1984 from Barbara Groseclose, Associate Professor of Art History at The Ohio State University, who confirms the authenticity of the painting to the son of the consignor.
The Estate of Amy Van Vliet, Holmdel, New Jersey.
Acquired directly from the above.
Property from the Estate of Angela Gross Folk, New Jersey.
The unlined canvas in overall good to very good condition. With slight abrasions along the top outer edge, and in the upper portions of the left and right outer edges. Examination under UV light reveals minor inpainting in the sky at upper center left (pinpoints). Small touch-up at upper right, on the tower. The figure is mostly intact, save for a pin-sized dot of inpainting on her cheek; and similar dots at center right on her dress and embroidered cape (minuscule, each). Minor repairs at center left on the parapet, and at bottom center left, to the right of the dog (one of its paw appears slightly enhanced). With remnants of old glowing varnish in some areas, convincing us the work was selectively cleaned. See Specialist's pictures for more details.
