Painting is in good condition for the most part but it does need scattered areas of touch up due to minor rubbing the surface as you will see from the photos.

Shobha Broota has written the below email to us, confirming the authenticity of the painting:
"I was surprised to see my very old painting on the screen. it took me
some time to recollect the image in front of me. i wonder how it has
reached your collection? i would like to know.
This painting was painted by myself in around 1961 when i was studying
in college.i am left with very few works of that period,but i do have
works of later periods. My work has changed through the years as you
see in my website but this has to happen if the artist also moves
ahead."
