SURFACE: in good condition, generally; scattered craquelure (looks stable); a vertical area, about 4 in long at center, left--of crazing UNDER ULTRA VIOLET: there are definitely some scattered repaints, most of them in center are and along right edge; however, it appears that artist may have added pigment over varnish, as certain spots fluoresce, but appear to be part of work--these are very light gray, white and some soft brown pigments--even artist's signature hardly shows to naked eye, but shows clearly under UV
