    But where can it be found? I can’t even find anything describing its location as “private collection” (indeed, it was hunting for its location that led me here.)

    Hi ejh…here are three links…i only put the painting’s name plus the artist’s name in a search…and you can view these links and see if it’s useful….hope it helps… 😉
    there were 1000’s more links, but i think you will know what you’re looking for…

    Thanks. I’d seen those: I’ll assume it’s a private collection until somebody tells me otherwise!
