Notes

Slightly cropped top and bottom to hide damage from removed original frame. This painting is not in a museum, but was in a private-sector auction in Paris in late October to early November 2011 (URL, may not work indefinitely: http://www.invaluable.com/catalog/viewLot.cfm?lotRef=B7E3E709AE&utm_source=invalert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=keywordalert&code=22007 ). This is a cleaned up copy of a large image (high enough resolution to see the texture and crazing of the paint!) provided by the auctioneers, ArtCurial.com, and it may be the only usable photo of it in existence.
