Enrique Serra y Augue

Sotheby's London, October 7, 1987, lot 91

This work is unlined and somewhat slack in the frame. The picture surface is in generally good condition. The work has been lightly painted along the edges and also shows minor areas of frame abrasion. There is a minor amount of inpainting in the face as well. Under UV, the varnish fluoresces unevenly and there is some minor strengthening in the darks, especially in the girl's hair.
