This is a unique example that would benefit from cleaning. There are areas of surface dirt in the upper center of the painting, and lower left that would benefit from cleaning. There is a small area of loss in the lower right corner where canvas is now showing. There is minor surface loss to paint where a former frame may have been surrounding the edges of the work. __________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
