Description
- Francis Newton Souza
- Untitled (Nude)
- Painted in 1961
Condition
The painting appears to have been relined and there is very minor craquelure visible in areas of thicker paint. The paint surface is uneven, however this appears to be inherent to the painting process. Small spots of paint are present on the figure's right arm and below her necklace which are possibly inherent. The painting is in very good overall condition for its age, as viewed. UV LIGHT: The paint fluoresces unevenly under UV light, however no major retouchings are visible.
