Lot 31

Five distinctive repairs all with patches showing verso . Recent restoration has been done on the facade (seen with UV light) in the lower left hand side, and slightly older in the upper left hand side (running vertically) and upper right side in two small dot areas (all at different stages of aging). Work is stretched however not framed. Rabbit skin glue pasted verso (showing signs of age as dried up and darkened) in the center has been applied to reinforce the canvas. Edges expose imperfections and dirt build up, all consistent with a previous frame. Pressure points can be seen around permiter where canvas has rested on back stretcher bars.
