Greta Kempton (Austrian-American, 1903-1991) Lady in a Kimono. Oil on canvas, signed lower left 80" x 42" Frame: 90.5" x 52.5"

The canvas has been relined. There are a few retouches at upper right, including what was most likely a 3" vertical tear. There is another retouch at lower right, also probably a repaired tear. On the shoulder and arm at right, are some long strokes of reddish pigment that fluoresces, but these are almost certainly original, as they are of a totally different character than the retouches. Seen in raking light, there is much cracking, but it has been greatly reduced by the relining. All of the retouches are skillfully done and minimal
