Edith Hume

STRUCTURE This picture is relined and in good condition with rich colouring throughout. New canvas visible to the left hand side of the painting. There is very minimal craquelure in the sky. The picture would benefit from a light clean. UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT The varnish appears opaque and there may be retouchings but much of the areas that fluoresce under UV appear to be the artist's work. FRAME This picture is contained in a moulded plaster frame (in good condition).
