We wish to thank Cori Sherman North, Curator of the Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery, Lindsborg, Kansas, for her cataloguing assistance. This painting is recorded as #2519 in the Sandzén card catalogue of the Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery.

Provenance:

George Pinney, Kansas.

By descent to the present owners.

Framed: 20 3/4 x 28 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches.

In overall good condition. Minor deposits of surface dirt and dust; canvas is unlined; a slight overall wave to the upper portion of the canvas, with a heavier area of buckling in the upper left quadrant, accompanied by minor craquelure within the white pigments of the sky; very minor craquelure in the lower center. UV: pinpoint spots of inpainting along all edges, to address previous nail holes; certain pigments fluoresce, including the ochers and browns, but these areas do not appear to be inpainting. Additional images available upon request.
