Manuel Rendón (1894-1980)

Private Collection, France

This work is still stretched on its original stretcher. There is a slight horizontal stretcher mark and also a slightly raised line of cracking in the upper left. The paint layer is stable. It is hard to read under ultraviolet light, but there do not seem to be any retouches except along the extreme edges. The varnish could be considered too shiny.
