David Davidovich Burliuk

This work is unlined, though there are some small patches that correspond to the lower center and left of the picture surface. There is minor craquelure in the more heavily painted passages and a small area of potential flaking in the upper right quadrant. The impasto is still very fresh. Under UV, there is inpainting in the lower center and left to address the disturbance indicated by the patches on the reverse. There is also a small area of inpainting to the left of the bouquet.
