Echoes of the Past: Property from an Important Private Collection

The unframed painting in generally very good overall condition with a couple of spots of retouch at center right, and a very slight pressure mark near the top of the painting, near upper left corner, though not a tear or a hole. There is also a small area of retouch at upper center right, near right edge of canvas edge. This painting is relined, and the outer edges of the canvas are fully visible, and do not extend beyond the edges of the painting, that is, they do not extend around the tacking edges. Under UV light: the signature and inscription at lower left appear darker, but that is likely due to pigment used rather than due to any restoration. Additional images available upon request.
