LE PHO | Les Pavots (Poppies)

Private Collection, Singapore

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of wear and losses along the edges of the work due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image. There is some faint craquelure, visible upon close inspection. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals minor spots of restoration along the edges of the work, a few sporadic spots of retouching to consolidate craquelure, and an area of restoration at the bottom left quadrant at background. Framed.
