Philadelphia

24 x 34 in. (61 x 86.4cm)

Unframed.The relined canvas in overall fair to fine condition. As the work is unframed, we notice some abrasions, paired with intermittent losses, alongside the four outer edges of the canvas (more so the lateral ones and at right specifically). With surface soiling spread across the bottom right quadrant and at bottom center on the white drapery, which informs us the painting is in need of a light cleaning. We notice localized areas of craquelure webs, which slightly raise on the surface of the canvas (see on the green jug as well as on the right foot of the table). With stretcher bar marks faintly visible, more so across the top edge. Examination under UV light reveals splashy green varnish throughout, which glows inconsistently. No restoration is visible. Additional images available upon request.
