Marie Vorobieff Marevna

Leopold Berkovitch III
Acquired from the above by the present owner

The canvas is unlined and slightly slack, especially at upper center. The picture surface is in good condition aside from surface dirt and dust and abrasion along the edges, most likely from framing. The varnish is unevenly applied, mostly across the center of the work, and under UV the varnished areas flouresce very darkly. Otherwise, there are no apparent inpaintings.
