RUFINO TAMAYO | Autorretrato

This work is in excellent condition. It is still on its original stretcher. There are two small reinforcements on the reverse. One reinforcement seems to address an area of cracking and a small amount of loss in the center of the left side, about 1 1/2 inches from the left edge. The other is a very small reinforcement addressing a small loss in the sleeve of the arm on the left. There are some slightly visible cracks in the sleeve of the arm on ther ight, and to the left and the right of the eyes, but these cracks are not indications of instability. The paint layer is clean and unvarnished. The restoration is careful and well applied, and the work should be hung as is.
