Bernard Boutet de Monvel, Barry Friedman Ltd, New York, 1er novembre 1994 - 7 janvier 1995, n°17

Condition

The painting sits on its original canvas, which was probably cut since the painting continues until the end of the edges. Stamped with the 2016 stamp. The painting would benefit from a light cleaning. Under UV light, a thin repaint is visible lower left by the frame, a small tear from the artist's nose to his left ear, and another even thinner, from his moustache to his ear. The visual in the catalogue is slightly too red : the straps are less visible in reality. Very good condition overall.
