VITTORIO MATTEO CORCOS | The Three Aces

Original unlined condition. There surface presents well, aside from a few very minor scattered pin dots of discoloration. The surface could be brightened and the colors would be given more depth with a fresh varnish. Under UV: varnish fluoresces green unevenly. Retouching, both broadly and finely applied, is visible on the seated woman, including her face; and on the standing figure's chest, face and hand. There is an additional area of retouching to the left of the standing figure's head and inpainting to address prior frame abrasion is visible along the left and right upper edges.
