Curatorial RemarksAccording to conservator Joyce Hill Stoner (3/2017), the canvas board support has been cut down, with clean cuts on the top and bottom. The commercial stamp in the lower left of the verso is only partial, supporting this assertion. The dimensions published in the hardcover catalogue raisonne are incorrect.
