Sans titre

huile et fumage sur toile

Condition Report:
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. There are a few areas of craquelure, some of which associated with small paint losses, notably towards the centre of the lower edge. There are dots of discolouration to the lower edge and to the lower right quadrant, possibly mold. There is some rubbing along the lower edge and a paint loss (approx. 2cm wide) to the right part of the lower edge. This work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a light clean.
