Giovanni Boldini (Ferrara 1842 - Parigi 1931)

The bearing presents some alterations of oxidation due to the natural paper ageing. it is possible to notice very tiny dark spots due probably to water drops fallen on the left side of the work from the upper edge. There is a lighter area on the left of the figure probably due to a cleansig attempt. On the right of the figure it is possible to notice a minor scrape of the first superficial layer of the bearing. It is suggested a careful cleansing to allow also a partial recover of the original condition.
