Provenance : Collection of Mr. Armin Prinz
Acquired from the above by the present owner
Condition_report : Framed. Unlined. Canvas is slightly loose on stretcher. Minor dent in lower right-hand quadrant, only visible on close inspection- close to the woman with a green and purple polka-dot dress.
There are a handful of networks of surface cracking within the centre of the work and also towards the extremities of the canvas, particularly within the top right hand corner. These networks are visible on close inspection and appear to be stable. The edges of the canvas exhibit stretcher marks. A handful of areas (ex: blue truck, women dressed in blue with basket of bread, central van) of dripping residue which appears contemporary to the creation of the work. This excepting, the work appears to be in good condition.
Inspection under UV light reveals no clear signs of restoration or repair.
