Provenance
Purchased from Stables Gallery, Taos, NM, 12 July, 1979; accompanied by the invoice and a letter regarding the piece from Office Manager Martha Quintana
Property from the Estate of Arnold and Lorlee Tenenbaum

Per the letter from Stables Gallery, the work was re-stretched, dated and signed by the artist circa 1979 at the time of purchase. The letter dates the work to 1977, while the artist was on his honeymoon, but the piece itself is dated 1975.

Good condition overall with some surface dust and minor abrasions commensurate with age. Stretcher bar creases along each edge and in the center. Craquelure along the left and right edges about 4in into the work. A handful of dark scuffs in the upper right quadrant along the upper edge including two approximately 1 1/2in long linear scuffs. One tack and associated horse hair drop missing from the center right. Fraying and possible losses to wool yarn elements.
