There are no signs of in-painting under black light. Some paint flecking visible, particularly around larger tree and black smoke stack to the proper right side of painting. There are some tiny brown splatter spots visible on bottom middle and one larger fleck on the apron of woman cooking. There is mold visible in various areas of the painting, particularly in the black and brown painted areas. This is a handsome example but would benefit greatly from a cleaning. ________________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
