AFFANDI | Fishing boats

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. This work could benefit from a light professional cleaning as there is some dust and some minor spots of accretion on the surface of the work. There are some cracks to the pigment at areas of thick impasto, but this is consistent with the age of the work and the nature of the medium. There are some losses to the pigment at the bottom right corner and some rubbing visible on the upper and right edges of the work, consistent with the stretcher bar behind it. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration as viewed. Framed.
