Eugenio Gignous

Galleria d'Arte Mainetti, Milano

Opera in prima tela. Ad un primo esame si notano leggere abrasioni lungo il bordo inferiore dovute alla battitura della cornice. L'esame alla lampada di Wood evidenzia un leggero strato di vernice fluorescente irregolare, alcuni piccoli ritocchi intorno alla firma a coprire piccole cadute e qualche altro puntiforme lungo il bordo inferiore e laterale sulla sinistra, un piccolo ritocco a virgola a metà del lato destro e lievi abrasioni lungo il lato destro dovute alla battitura della cornice. Painting on original canvas. From a first hand inspection some light abrasions are visible along the lower edge. The ultra violet light reveals irregular light fluorescent varnish, small retouches around the signature, some others along the lower edge on the left and the left hand side edge, a small retouch in the centre of the right hand side edge and light abrasions along the right hand side edge.
