Huile sur toile

129 x 195.5cm ; 50 3/4 by 77 in

Huile sur toile

Under UV light, small minor repaints appear scattered on the surface, as well as minor wears. A upside-down V-shape appears on the right hand side : maybe the painter had previously executed a sketch on the canvas he used. Very good overall condition.
