Cheong Soo Pieng Lady and Birds Signed and dated 66 on the reverse

Acquired directly from the Artist by the Present Owner
Private Collection, Singapore

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of very light wear along the edges of the work due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image. The paint layers are healthy overall. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals evidence of small spots of restoration, mostly at hair, at background on the left side of the face, at the bottom left quadrant and along the black outlines of the left-most bird and cage. Framed.
