American Art and Pennsylvania Impressionists

The unlined canvas in overall very good condition. The right outer edge of the canvas is brushy, and leaves some parts of the canvas bare; this is part of the artist's working technique. Examination under UV light reveals a pinpoint dot of inpainting above the initialed signature at bottom right, as well as a thinly inpainted scratch at bottom left corner (about 2 1/2 in. long). With similarly minuscule dots of inpainting (likely from old flaking) visible at upper center right quadrant, on the napkin as well as in the background. Additional images available upon request.

Framed: 16 x 22 1/4 x 2 in.
