B. Lewin Galleries, Beverly Hills

There is a two-inch long loss at the center of the piece. There are a few specks of losses scattered in the central grey shape. Under UV light inspection, it appears that the center part with the loss has been in-painted. The paint layer is dry but stable overall. This work is in very good condition.
