Fine Art from The Estate of Angela Gross Folk

The relined canvas in overall fair condition, with faint hairline craquelure visible throughout the surface of the work. Examination under UV light reveals that some of the aforementioned craquelure is inpainted. See for example at upper left corner, extending onto the cat and in the bottom right corner. Some more restoration at center left in between the cat and the two squirrels (on the background) and at bottom left corner. With broad inpainting on the two squirrels at center (the face of the one on the right is intact as well as part of its tail, the other squirrel is heavily retouched in comparison). Localized inpainting on some of the buckets at bottom right quadrant, with loose inpainting on most of the raspberries as well. See Specialist's pictures for more details.
