This lot is located in Philadelphia.
Condition
In overall very good condition, with no sign of inpainting as seen under UV light. We notice light rubbing (brown horizontal mark) at upper left across the nude woman's body. Minor dots of discoloration at center right, on the verge of the right outer edge - which reveal the board's surface underneath. Both areas are non obtrusive. Some of the white appears fluorescent under UV light, but as it perfectly follows the composition we believe this is due to the pigments used by the artist, rather than a sign of restoration. Additional images available upon request.
