Lot Note:
The present work is a study for an oil of the same date and subject, now in a private French collection.
In overall good condition. The sheet is entirely laid down, along all outer edges and corners, to a thicker cardboard itself laid down to a stretcher. With even edges and rounded bottom corners (no loss). The sheet is slightly toned, with evidence of handling (smudges) along the margins. Minor (localized) abrasions, accompanied by small losses, along the top outer edge (the sheet was likely pinned to a surface and later ripped): very minimal and not visible when the work is matted. With a pinhole at bottom left corner. Additional images available upon request.
