TAMARA DE LEMPICKA | Trois Nus

It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. The canvas is wax lined and there is a protective cloth backing. Examination under UV light reveals areas of retouching in places, most predominately to the lower figure's thighs, hip, torso and proper right arm and to the middle figure's back and proper left shoulder. There is some frame rubbing along the extreme edges. There are a few superficial scratches in places and a few scattered small pigments losses notably to the upper part of the right edge. There are pinholes at intermittent points along the extreme edges. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
