David Davidovich Burliuk

This work is unlined and somewhat slack in the frame. The impasto is rich and the color fresh. There are a few small minor losses to the impasto in the bouquet and the grass at lower right. The upper left quadrant has some craquelure and paint seperation and a few very minor small losses along the upper edge. Under UV, the pigments are active and there are no apparent inpaints.
