Petr Belenok

Mixed media on board. The surface is dirty and covered with a layer of yellowed varnish. There is paint loss around the edges and in each of the four corners. There are scruffs and scratches to the surface and five nail holes across the upper edge. There is staining to the surface and minor craquelure in areas of the white pigment. Under UV some pigments fluoresce indicating minor repair but varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. Sold unframed.
